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.
Yes, Duke is out to make money.

Lol, I do not believe Duke, a public stock traded company, is out of the goodness of their heart installing 220 chargers for $25. per customer to take a loss and a beating in their profits which they need to explain to the stockholders. I hope Duke also donates millions to Tunnels to Towers yearly if they are that benevolent.
