This is a classic example of poor resource allocation by underpricing. If you give away parking (already a scarce resource) and charging for free, rational people will use as much as they can get. The problem is compounded by the fact that it costs money to run conduit to a charging space, so businesses tend to put them as close to the building as possible, making the space even more valuable.<p>I have met personally with ChargePoint representatives. They have data that shows that if you charge $0.30 or more per kWh, then only people who NEED a charge will occupy the space. Couple that with an occupancy fee that ramps up dramatically when the car stops drawing current, or after, say, 2-4 hours, and people will start moving their cars. Even at this rate, you&#x27;re still only charging $0.10&#x2F;mile for electricity, which is on par with what you&#x27;d pay for gasoline these days.
