Title says it all! Anyone do this acting as a individual civilian? Kinda like vending machines or whatever, might be easy to install a couple chargers in a couple locations (for 3-5k I would expect) and then profit?
Is this profitable? Any personal anecdotes or experiences?
A 2 port 7.2 kW ChargePoint is about $15k, they charge 10% of the sales to process your transactions, and there is $500ish per year in other fees.
If you could mark up the power bill by $.20 per kWh it would take about 13,000 kWh per year to break even assuming a 8 year depreciation on the charger and no additional maintenance costs. This would require about 5hr/day of charging to break even.
