Anyone have data/link showing what % of public EVSE's are free vs. cost? Having trouble finding it. Thanks.
I couldn't easily find a figure for this, and it's one that's pretty dynamic. Perhaps you could get some rough estimate from the Plugshare website by sing different filters and noting the differences.
The cost to maintain chargers makes free a bad ideal. In California, we have very little free public chargers.
Free charging should only take place at work where you can place restrictions and limit access.
IRS has not made any decision on whether workplace charging falls under the fringe benefits. It's a non issue, for now.There's a slight issue (potential I should say) with free work charging. In theory that is a benefit. The IRS has had limits on the value of this parking before it tips from a convenience and into income. I don't know where it stands currently but free parking + free charging could become a taxati event.
