BC Hydro stations

The timed rates were inequitable because some cars are able to charge faster than others and these were generally newer and more expensive EV's.

As unfair as the timed rates were, in my case, despite my Ariya being able to receive up to 130kW the most it ever received was 77kW from their 100kW DCFC's. The average charging session cost was around $0.25 per kWh. The new rate of $0.34 is significantly more.

 

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the Ivy Network (found on the OnRoute Service Centers along the 401 in Ontario) who proudly announced their change to billing by the kWh. At 62¢ per kWh! Before, when they were billing by the hour, a charging session up to 80% was typically in the 40-45¢ range.
Fortunately, my driving routes are such that I can avoid charging there.

 

Yikes!

 

We went from Kamloops to the lower mainland yesterday. Made 2 stops at Hydro chargers. I’d say it’s about 10% more expensive now, but still cheaper than most of the private options.
