Zero clue why this year-old article is floating around again all of a sudden.
As I said 22 months ago, this is impossible because the cost of the charging equipment is only a fraction of the cost of the charging station.
Even if the charging equipment is free, it would still be impossible to have a charging station for 1/5 the cost.
It shows Tesla was so hungry for the grant it bid $120k under its costs. Says nothing about actual cost just as the other companies plugging in the max $150 says nothing about actual cost. Actual cost is pretty much the same as EV chargers are very simply.
Tesla caters to just Teslas so it lacks a card wipe and networking so it should cost a bit less for Tesla charger vs. an EA or others.
