Comment on Vancouver proposes 10k-dollar annual fee for gas stations without EV charging

Comments

Gas stations would be required to provide 50 kilowatts of charging power — enough for one DC fast charger.

Convenience is greatly sacrificed if only one charger is installed — it'll be a gamble if your local gas station has their charger free, etc., which makes planning on when to charge tricky. As many gas stations are likely to only invest the bare minimum to avoid this fee, this could become a common frustration if this goes ahead.
