But it’s that bill that’s the first step to understanding a new term coming to the fore in electric vehicle discussions: demand charges. What Are Demand Charges? Energy providers, rather than charging all customers a flat fee, usually charge customers according to how much energy they use. This is a “ demand charge.”

So all those cheap EVs need to be fast-charged, and what better place to expand than BYD’s home city? And these “superchargers” aren’t just DC fast chargers – they can charge EVs to 80% in just 10 minutes. So, the city has to plan carefully so as not to overburden the grid as both EVs and superchargers rapidly come online.
