    I mean, you’re not counting the fact that the electricity isn’t free either - and KWH costs are just going up. It’s debatable how you ought to cost out the electrical work to put in a charger, and the charger itself. I really have no idea about the lifespan of the chargers, so it might not last a full 15 years out in the elements, it might last 50+ years.

      The charger is just a few solenoids very simple device, and they don’t get switched with current flowing. So probably last forever, for wall mounted hard wired ones at least.

      True I did not count cost of electricity, because it’s extremely hard to guess. Some places are .04$/kwh, some are .45/kwh, some are free.

      What if you had free charging at work? Or apartment, or had solar, it could be completely free
