Thanks everyone for voting on the Paying for Public Charging poll. 95% of us want to be billed for the kWhs that we consume, rather than by time connected.
I'd like to see what people's views are about what price point would be acceptable. We all know that free electricity isn't viable in the long term (unless subsidised by the government, or by a vehicle manufacturer like Tesla).
Whilst we'll all naturally want "the cheapest possible price", I really want to find out what would be the maximum price that you'd be willing to pay, before you started refusing to use charge points / use petrol instead.
So... vote for the tipping point... and comment!
N.B. For comparison: Polar Instant is 52p/kWh for 13Amp and 46p/kWh for 16Amp (excluding the bit about paying by time connected). I've assumed 4 miles per kWh for the price per mile.
