Residents and visitors to Mesquite, Texas, adjusting their budgets for electric vehicle (EV) charging must take note that from November 1, the city’s free ride comes to a decisive end. The City of Mesquite has announced a newly imposed fee at its public EV charging stations, setting the rate at 30 cents per kWh, a move aimed at sustaining the infrastructure beyond the lifespan of its initial federal funding. This cost is notably below the Texas state average of 50 cents per kWh, as outlined in a report by Stable Auto.
