There's a level 2 Blink charging station near me, and their website says the cost is 3 cents every 30 seconds (that's $3.60 per hour).
Level 2 at Blink - they don't say their charging power, but assuming 30 amps, J1772, does that add about 20 miles/hour? Seems agonizingly slow and expensive. Just to all 100 miles would take 7 hours and cost $25.
Are my off the cuff calculations right here?
I've also seen some Blink stations priced by the kWh. One is 49¢ per. If a kWh gets me about 3 miles, that rate translates to maybe $16 for 100 miles. Still seems high.
Reading repeated posts that the Blink network is well named ("on the blink" a lot…not working), and these prices. seems to me this is more of a safety net than something useful.
