Multi-unit EV charging hits roadblock

Electric Auto Association

To service this number of EVSEs, the MUD must have dedicated commercial electric service, and this involves pricing that can result in much higher costs due to tariffs on peak demand charges. Six EVSEs at an MUD in Maryland, each capable of dispensing 8.3kW, can be subject to energy costs ranging from $0.30 The result?
