Operating fast charging stations costs much more than other slower stations, in part, because the electricity costs are substantially higher to supply that much power in a short period of time. The County will begin charging $0.43 per kWh to recoup a portion of the costs to operate these chargers. With this fee, we estimate that for an electric vehicle like a Chevy Bolt, it will cost about $32 to get a full charge. This is compared to a tank of gas costing between $38 - $62 (depending on gas prices) to go the equivalent distant for a full battery charge.
