I always assumed the cost of the infrastructure was past of the kilowatt price. I know at my school it cost them about $300k to install a half dozen charge stations. Commercial construction like that is stupidly expensive compared to running a charger at home.

    Yeah, I estimated infrastructure in that $15 number to be similar infrastructure cost as a gas station. It turns out infrastructure costs for a gas station are far higher than a charging station so the gouging is even worse than that.
