Just FYI, people don't want to pay a monthly fee for access. They want to pay-per-use. I only use public charging infrastructure when traveling. Normally I just charge overnight in my garage.

Hi Guys,
...
For my MBA classes, I had chosen a project on Commercial DC chargers (50kW) and how we can make a viable business model from it. In trying to understand some of the concerns/needs from EV Owners, it would be highly appreciated if you could take the time to fill out a quick survey (link below).

Thanks for the feedback Doug
I do agree that charging overnight in home is very convenient for owners indeed.

^^^ ditto. I have no need to pay for monthly access. On a road trip I would hope to find piecemeal 100A (80A delivered) chargers so I can get enough range while e.g. eating a leisurely lunch. Staying at a hotel I would expect a competitive hotel to cover the electricity cost generally, or have it be included in their normal parking costs (per above, minimum 40A-60A [32A-48A delivered] would be enough for overnight charging). See Sun Country Highway where charging is delivered as a byproduct of the providers' main business, or the Hawaii startup voltacharging.com for other business models.From my point of view you didn't ask the right questions. When asking what service I would pay for the answer was really "none of the above", as none of them meet my needs.
Almost all EV drivers do most of their charging at home. Tesla owners even more so, since for most people their cars have more than enough range for daily use. So I charge at home 99% of the time, and I'm sure that is typical. And I don't need really high power for that. I need 40A delivered (50A circuit).
When I'm doing a road trip, I want the highest power available. I would be willing to pay for that service. For example, at a highway rest stop I'd want to get out of there as soon as possible, so I'd be quite willing to pay for 50 kW. But since I do that only occasionally I don't want to pay a monthly subscription fee.
If I'm staying at a hotel, then I would be okay with less power. Minimum would be 40A (50A circuit - not a 40A circuit that allows only 30A), as that would be enough to charge my car overnight. My main concern is that charging actually be available, so I'm not stranded at the hotel.
....But, if there was a company that can help other companies provide charging stations for their employees so that I can, at least, plug my car in to maintain the battery temperature during cold winter months, that would be preferential to not having it at the office parking lot at all. ....

Its because there were 30 brand new cars in the parking lot to be delivered to customers! When I arrived I thought they were tesla owners club cars but I was one of the last to leave the meeting and the Model S were all still there!
