Electric vehicles are expensive. This is one of the main reasons why car buyers hesitate to buy one as their next vehicle, although they offer greater long-term savings when charge at home. Even though paying to charge your electric vehicle is cheaper than filling up with gas, the best thing to do would be to experience free charging for EV. Well, I finally got to try one, but it had its own pros and cons.

I talked to my colleagues about their experiences with free EV charging, which were both good and bad, but I wanted to see for myself what it was all about. For those on the fence about purchasing an electric vehicle, I wouldn’t say the potential for free electric vehicle charging should be high on your priority list. Instead, I would classify it more as an added benefit to owning an electric vehicle.
