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

Comments

Modelling provided to the city estimated that about 30 per cent of gas stations and 40 per cent of parking lots would install chargers by 2030

Basically, they expect the majority of gas stations and parking lots to just pay the fee instead. Pretty solid indictment of the economics of installing chargers when even a 10k/year penalty isn't enough to tip the scale.
