These demand charges can hit the "hundreds of thousands annually for a specific site," says Rachel Moses, who directs sales, marketing, and business development at Electrify America.
Electrify America says its pricing is "station specific," meaning it will charge customers more money to charge at stations that are more expensive for it to run.
Companies are permitted to charge dynamic prices for EV charging, meaning they can change. Unfortunately, rules around national public-charging infrastructure funding mean that any chargers built with public funds can't change their prices when you're in the middle of charging your car.
This all means it's hard, right now, to predict what you'll pay to top up at a public fast charger. No wonder drivers are frustrated.
