Great video. ComED pricing for electricity is normally flat rate and if you did it at home charging 80% of a Leaf would cost about $2.50 or less (I think significantly less for just the electricity).

This Quick Charge (level 3) cost $7 and didn't look like they even got the 80% fill. So these guys are charging you a $200% margin to use these quick chargers - who wants to bend over for that? This will ensure these will only be used in emergencies by EV's (if the consumer has no other choice which the drivers will avoid like the plague) while plug-ins with engines (like the Volt or Prius Plug-In can just smile as they drive over to the gas station and fill up for less money).

These guys should charge you $1 on top of the electricity to use these things and they'd be used, not $5 as they'll just be active museum pieces.
