At the moment many electric car charging stations are toll-free but surely this cannot last forever? Do you think free charging will end soon or could paying for charging potentially kill the market before it has really developed?

While there is no doubt that the cost of electric is but a fraction of the cost of gasoline/petrol surely at the end of the day consumers will have to pay the price?
