Electric Car Charging

[OKW Lover]

Saw a news item on the DIS main page:

Disney has added four Level 2 ChargePoint charging stations to the Journey parking lot at Epcot. Electric vehicles will be charged $.35 per kw/h, with a minimum charge of $1.50. Payments can be made at the charge station with a credit card or a ChargePoint account card. These stations are part of the Drive Electric Orlando program.

Can't say I've ever even seen an electric car but somebody must use them. I thought the price per kwh was a bit high though. I think prevailing electric rates in central FL are about half that.

That rate isn't bad for a charge point station. I usually see them at 49¢ per kWh or $1-$2 per hour. I did see a Tesla driving past boardwalk when we were there in June.
