Perhaps they will charge extra money to charge a car at the full speed the car is capable of and hobble charging speed for a lower price.

This would tie up their charging infrastructure and space for a longer time, making less money. Gas stations & charging venues are usually space-constrained because they're located on expensive real estate. Their goal is to maximize revenue and throughput in small spaces.
- mulmen 7y agoDo they do that with gas pumps?
- jnty 7y agoNo, but you can't browse in a shop while filling up with petrol (at least in the UK where we don't have those locks which keep the pump on while you walk away.)
- mulmen 7y agoHmm, good point, I hadn't considered that. EV charging is totally unattended. Makes me wonder what benefits there are to convenience store sales in states where "full service" is required.
