Which is fine yes, I indicated that. But electricity is different, you don't buy it and store it in finite amounts. So, how would the fluctuations work, and how quickly would the operator of the charging station be aware of his at meter pricing changes? Would there be a flat rate consumption fee negotiated and would it be competitive? Would there be a surge pricing model adopted? I still haven't really heard an answer on how anyone would deal with the increased demand, again with many power hungry regions already having to endure rolling brownouts, charging EVs at high rates isn't exactly plugging in a bunch of cell phones
