As the Diesel Emits: Kenneth Feinberg Says 'Generous Solution' Is Coming

Bad idea for 2 reasons.   First the avg amount paid in gas taxes for a person is about $100 a year, so you are penalized for a hybrid or EV.  Second, if you are someone who doesn't drive much, or has a couple cars, maybe a fixed income senior with a Chevy Bolt that drives 4,000 miles a year, now you are paying $250 to drive 4,000 miles vs about $20 in gas tax.

See, that seems to make a lot more sense because that's only L2 charging. That isn't *all* public charging, that's just all L2 charging. Thank you for this information! 

Agree, most of the time, when out and about, if I need to charge, I am also in that area for a while, so L2 is fine. I just looked at my Electrify America app and most of the fast chargers are around 39 to 44 cents per kW. ChargePoint and EVgo who my daughter uses are also in the same range for fast chargers.

Yeah I think the key there is that those are all level 2. These aren’t fast chargers you use on a road trip, and that’s okay. 

Yes, we have had it for a year now and we got a new Grand Son, so my wife drives it daily to their house since she watches Kai for half the day. Here is where Washington State pointed back to for average and in this stated site, Seattle / Tacoma average price per L2 charger is 21 cents and Bellingham is 25 cents. I had asked Bing and Google the same question on average price per kW for charging in Washington state and both came back with 25 cents average. Here is the site our state government pointed me at from last year. EV Stats and EV Charging Stations in Washington State | Qmerit QUOTE:  How Much Do Public EV Charging Stations in Washington State Cost? With hundreds of free EV charging stations in Washington State offered through municipal programs, public charging can be very affordable. However, a majority of public stations use a per kWh billing model. For instance, Seattle and Tacoma offer Level 2 curbside charging for $0.21 per kWh, while the city of Bellingham charges $0.25 per kWh with additional fees for occupying the spot after charging. FYI - My work has a deal with ChargePoint, if you work in the building, you can charge using the L2 for 15 cents per kW, public is currently 24 cents per kW.
