[Rant] Chevy Bolts and Mustang Block-E's on the 350kW units!!

[...] But I am a neoclassical staunch proponent of congestion pricing strategy as a one of the ways of allocating scarce resources optimally. [...]

As an economist, I wholeheartedly agree.
Unfortunately, in the U.S., DCFC CCS1 is dominated by EA, which appears to be obsessed with carrying out its $2b court-ordered mandate without any attempts to maximize operating profit from actual charging.
Or is it just institutional incompetence?
Either way, EA is incapable -- or unwilling? -- to institute idle fees. And the all-you-can-eat charging plans set up bizarre incentives. (Although officially limited to 30-minute blocks, the clock resets immediately upon unplugging then replugging.)
So any hopes for more sophisticated incentive pricing schemes are far removed from the EA reality.

I want @BigBob to eat too, even if no one except @007 will be his friend.

Based on what I’m reading here, sitting at a table with @BigBob and @007 would be a hoot. There’d be crying, but with laughter.
