This compares with EV owners with solar panels on their home roofs, who can charge at home for 80% less cost (about 8c/kWh in lost solar feed-in tariff).
In my opinion, JOLT, Intellihub and the other street charging networks need to have time-of-use pricing so that it is :
cheaper to charge when electricity is cheap during the middle of the day because renewable energy generation (especially rooftop solar) is flooding the grid with low-cost power generation,
more expensive to charge between 6pm and 9am when the amount of renewables powering the grid is lower (mostly wind, hydro and batteries).
