• Installation costs– Can vary greatly depending on site conditions– Few $100 to $5,000 per EVSE
• Operating costs– Commercial el rates in US $ 0.8 -0.15/kWh– Network costs – site host, monthly charge $30/EVSE, membership
for user– Demand charges – can be avoided if managed, cost $10-30/kW

Tax Questions
While no specific rules mention EV charging, these rules are being used as guidelines• Taxpayers can exclude from gross income any
fringe benefit that qualifies as a “de minimis” fringe benefit (section 132(a)(4) of the Code). EV charging not specifically identified
• Section 132 (f)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, “Commuter Tax Benefits,” allows for a fringe benefit exclusion for qualified parking. In 2013 this value was $245 per month.
Since PEV charging is not explicit, related examples of
de minimus limits are:
