The fuel pricing doesn’t make sence. How can it cost 50% more to charge publically on some cars and 10% more on the others. The price of electricty will be the same no matter what car you are charging. This is a bogus article.

“more to charge publically”

I don’t own an EV so don’t know the ins and outs of the racket, but my guess is that the public charging station is a commercial device and hence the business that owns that device charges you a mark up over their expense for electricity from the utility.

One thing I do know about electric utilities is that commercial electric rates billed are significantly higher than the residential rates so that may have something to do with it too.

No but it does require thinking. NOt all things are simple.

There is variation in the vehicles, charging stations, charging times. etc.

Just like an average, 50% are above and 50% below with a wide variation. The cost of an ev or gas car is personal. It depends on a lot of things. My most expensive vehicle in cost per mile used to be my motorcycle.
