Fee for charging electric vehicle?

We have had request to allow charging of electric vehicles overnight at our bed and breakfast.

 

Can we state in the listing that there will be an additional fee collected onsite for charging?

 

The fees would vary depending on the kwh usage.

Wow, I see a lot of misconceptions here on the cost to charge an EV.   My Model 3 cost me $12.30 USD to charge it from home for the first 5 weeks I owned it. We used a total 167KW of power during that time period paying 7.4 cents per KW from our local utility.

We also didn't have to spend more than about $250 to have a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed in the garage to plug the mobile charging cable in to. You shouldn't have to install a dedicated charger, only a 14-50 outlet.

A NEMA 14-50 outlet a very common dryer outlet used here in the US.
