EVs are expensive. That’s one of the biggest reasons why car shoppers are reluctant to buy one as their next vehicle, even if they offer greater long term savings when charging at home. While paying to charge your EV does come out less than filling up on gasoline, the next best thing would be to experience free EV charging. Well, I finally got to try one out — but it did come with its own pros and cons.
I spoke to my colleagues about their experiences with free EV charging, which were both good and bad, but I wanted to see for myself what the hype is all about. For those teetering on the idea of buying an electric vehicle, I wouldn’t say that the potential of free EV charging should be high on your priority list. Instead, I would classify it more as an extra perk to owning an EV.
