Great video . He needs to breath a little .
I had never considered. the cost being higher to charge . I had been under the impression it was cheaper .
Now he is talking about going to charging stations and their price is whatever the market will bear. They can charge whatever they want and we all know that its pure supply and demand. Invest the money in level 3 chargers and collect the cash. The more cars, the greater the demand. I believe every Porsche dealer is required to have at least one 800V charger at their locations
What the people here, and in general, are talking about is Level 2 chargers at home. And some companies do have electric rates where Off Peak hours are cheaper than regular rates. So in FL, when its hot in the summer, they do NOT want you to use electric during the day. They would want you to charge at night. In the north, its the Electric HEAT bill that's the killer. Its COLDER at night. Giant toasters go on, so the power is consumed at night, NOT during the day, as much, when the Sun heats things up. So Off Peak Hours might be different in different states.
But the key is that 72% of electric consumers in the US get their power from PRIVATE COMPANIES. They don't exist to be "nice to people". They exist to make $$$$. But since monopolies are bad, and electric companies are, essentially, monopolies, they are regulated by state commissions. Electric companies don't make money by generating power. They make money by some profit they take from "investments in capital assets".

Why do you think electric companies want you to buy an EV? Could it be? Possibly? Because they get to build more transmission towers, substations, feeder lines, transformers, etc that is, infrastructure, and take 10% of the top? My guess is yes, the more they build out, they more money they make. I'd call that an educated guess as in Finance 101. Buy and EV and I make money from infrastructure. Buy MORE EVs, and I make MORE money. And the money is NOT coming from the Electrons. The money is coming from the capital assets that move and manage the electrons.
So the early adopters who now think their electric rates are "cheaper than gas", which it probably is, are in for a rude awakening IF, and this IF, the public actually moves to 50% or so mainstream EVs, that about 150,000,000 registered EVs in the USA and ALL of them need to be charged, you can take it to the bank, their electric bills are going WAY up.
Its all about Supply and Demand. There is no demand today, in the sense its in the noise. Create a demand for capital assets and BOOM, the price goes up.
