1 year agoThe network fees will kill profitability. Tesla destination chargers are in my opinion the only path to break even… But you have to install 6 of them to be able to bill customers.
However you can buy 6 Tesla destination chargers with J1772 and Tesla connectors for the price of a single Chargepoint plug
One of the largest limiting factors is getting a transformer. What would probably happen is you would finally navigate the permitting, siting, design, delivery of the equipment and finally service hookup… only to find that Tesla already has a supercharger operating for 6 months.
Tesla runs the supercharger network because they have to in order to make their cars viable. Nobody is making money off charging stations. And if there isn’t a charger somewhere yet from Tesla there is probably a reason.
