It probably makes more sense to account the costs for building superchargers in car sales and profits, rather than the electricity costs. More cars than charger

It probably makes more sense to account the costs for building superchargers in car sales and profits, rather than the electricity costs. More cars than chargers, much higher profit margin and it gives brand value driving future sales.
Although I don't think the price has to be exactly the same as regular consumer electricity price, it should cover some maintenance.

You'd need to raise the cost of the cars, which would decrease sales. Also, people who charge at home would be paying for super chargers they might not use. Usage-based charges seems totally logical here.
- fomine3 3y agoPlease don't. My future plan is buying BEV and charging 99.5% at home.
