    They probably just want to discourage one person from hogging one charging station all day. How else would you set up incentives so that many workers can share one charging station?

    That's an extremely normal workplace. I've checked out tons of workplaces in my city, and for the ones that actually have chargers, the standard seems to be $2/hr for the first couple of hours and $4/hr thereafter. A workplace that's willing to give up money to help people buy EVs would be uncommonly generous.

      Where are you located? In some (US) states, it is illegal to resell electricity, so companies with EV charging networks in those states (including, for example Tesla) charge by time, rather than by the KWh. In this way, they are basically able to claim that they are charging for parking, while the electricity comes along for free. In other states without those laws, many of the networks charge by the KWh.
