Beginning one month today, electric car drivers will have to pay to power-up their vehicles at fast-charge stations.
BC Hydro gave the thumbs up to start applying user fees after getting the OK from the BC Utilities Commission to charge anywhere from 12 to 27 cents per minute.
But John Stonier of the Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association worries the rates are too low.
He says that in order to encourage hotels, restaurants and service centres along highways to install charging stations, those businesses need to get their money back through charging.
