Are you suggesting Duke is selling the charger and their business model is to make big bucks by netting $25/customer?
Otherwise, the charger will be installed one way or another whether there is a rebate or not and Duke is only eating into their profits by sending the customer an $800 check.
Plus, Duke also offers $7.50/month if the customer charges within certain hours.
But yeah, Duke is out to make money so there is something in it for them. Maybe a $1,000 credit from the Govt for providing an EV program where they pass 80% along to the customer and keep 20% for themselves.
