So once again, renters are fucked.

It's so much more expensive to be poor in this country.

A huge number of people go their entire lives without buying a new car. They do this because they can't afford to buy a new car. All those people are going to be screwed.

How much does it cost to install a charge station?

Zero dollars if you use a standard wall charger. Otherwise between $1k and $2.5k Australian dollars for a decent charger.

The fuel savings would cover that reasonably quickly

Our level 2 charger (hardwired juice box) retailed for around $650 USD. We had a credit of over $300 from our energy provider’s online shop to help with the cost. Installation was done by a neighbor who is a union electrician for $200 in labor and $100 in materials.
