Not that it applies in 99% of the world, but my daughter who lives in LA is telling me that many rental properties are now offer EV charging as one of the features of living there.
EV charging example costs more than it would to fill up a premium fuel car

Yes, I suspect it will be an easy perk to offer prospective renters and condo owners. Still fresh in its infancy, only time will tell if they stay properly maintained, not that I think they wont but it will make me wonder.
Early on a decade ago this was challenging.
Now it's a cinch. The cars route and plan for you, and there are excellent 3rd party apps.
It did not take more than 2 brain cells to figure out once they get more of these vehicles on the road people are going to get bent over but good and proper without so much as a little kiss. The people that support this crap and the politicians that go along with this lunacy get everything they deserve and much more. The problem is those of us that knew better got the Arschkarte right along with em. JMHO
In theory it cost less to buy flour than to buy pasta, but in reality if you are trying to buy 00 flour from a boutique store vs buying pasta from a discount outlet trying to get rid of surplus, you will be able to buy your pasta cheaper than flour.
Does that make sense now?

That is an insane amount of electricity. Your home would require an 800A service to get 190kW, assuming is was 240V feed.
Peak: AC and daily activities, duck curve
Semi Peak: Less / No AC and daily activities
Charging time: only industrial and vehicles charging.
We already have it here. The "high consumption rate" actually turns into time of use rate instead unless you opt to stay. I think for residential the tiered rate is likely an indication you use more during peak time.
You arent getting that at home, thats DC fast charge power at 400 or more volts.
The most people typically do is put a 50 amp/240 outlet in.
I was thinking in a broader sense and could have stated it better. Government can implement policies/regulations/price controls. (NOT POLITICS, JUST GOVERNMENT 101) I would not be surprised if government stepped in during the early phase of EV to attempt a smoother transition.
Investopedia:
"Price controls are a form of government-mandated economic intervention. They are intended to make important purchases more affordable for consumers and are also commonly used to help steer the economy in a certain direction. For instance, these restrictions may be deemed necessary in order to curb inflation. Price controls are the opposite of prices set by market forces, which are determined by producers because of supply and demand.
Price controls are commonly imposed on consumer staples. These are essential items, such as food, rent, gasoline, or electricity. Controls set by the government may impose minimums or maximums. Price caps are referred to as price ceilings while minimum prices are called price floors."
Thanks for explaining.
Here is why I dont think it would ever happen. It would kill all incentives for anyone to go into setting up EV charging stations. I mean, it cost money, property, equipment and electric charges.
Nothing is free, especially energy. Those people using “free” chargers are leeches, perfectly fine with the local area charging their taxpayers and transferring their wealth thru subsidized charging. It’s a despicable practice along with all the other ways this is perpetrated.
I dont agree. The voters allow this stuff and the people who can use it are taking it. Calling them leaches is placing the blame on them for accepting free stuff.
Just like the people took $4000 stimulus checks. Never heard anyone call those people leaches.
(no politics)
It would be childs play for the vehicle app to interface with your breaker box or the utility HQ and throttle their charging until it was convenient for everybody. It's different than a timer because weather, and ergo AC load, or solar/ wind output, change.
My state has free chargers that were paid for by the VW dieselgate settlement. When they'll stop being free is up in the air but it hasn't happened yet.
So the fact the building owner /management offers free charging to tenants (and the public for that matter) makes me a leech?
Or using a charger at a grocer that places free charging stations in their parking lot makes me a leech?
Building management / ownership pays the electric bill. The electricity is not free. The taxpayer certainly is not paying that bill either.
Ownership has made its choices on what they do to keep tenants happy and to draw in customers.
Frankly, not using free services in that case would be the "interesting" choice...

Where is the station, the rate for each, $/kwh, $/gallon premium, and he talks too fast like a salesman, skipping facts. Not to mention how they were driven for the 180 miles. If the Cadillac uses 1 kwh to go 3 miles that’s 60 kwh over 180 miles. If it’s 40 cents per kwh it comes to $24.
Electricity cost is so high here in Ca an electric car cant be cheap to charge
It's still a lot cheaper than fuel, assuming you charge at home.
