The enviro-wackies in West Bend just wrote a check to WE Energies. Why??
... two city-owned electric vehicle charging stations on Main Street and Vine Street failed to meet the usage requirements tied to a 2023 incentive program....
Oh. And how bad was that failure?
... We Energies awarded the city $55,000 in 2023 to build the two charging stations, with the condition that the chargers reach 60% kilowatt usage or the city would be required to repay a portion of the funds. The chargers reached only 32%....
So--about 50%. MAJOR fail!
There's at least one reason:
...[A user of the service] shared that EV drivers find it more expensive to charge at a public station than at home ...
OK, then. Overcharge and over-estimate usage.
That's costly.
