- barbazoo 3y agoI'd probably still do it. It's not just about money and these cost will probably get cheaper in the future.
- cinntaile 3y agoFor most people it is just about the money.
- tomatocracy 3y agoPresumably the chargers are owned by a private company. Why would they lower their charges in future?
- barbazoo 3y agoCompetition, I'd assume as more and more chargers become available, their price will reduce.
- tomatocracy 3y agoBut competition within an apartment building car park will be limited - I'd assume there is only a single supplier today and it wouldn't be economically viable for a second supplier to build on top so it's a quasi-monopoly. If the building owners are alive to this then they would probably have negotiated a price cap of some form in the contract but I'd be surprised if theres any incentive to cut prices.
- mixmastamyk 3y agoTime spent at gas stations should be factored. One half hour per month would roughly equal that. Not to mention one less thing to worry about.
