DUH! Where have you been? The consumer always
pays for everything, that's Business 101. It is
the bulwark of capitalism. Without that concept
our economy goes away. It's been that way since
the days of barter.
The buyer pays for all costs!
The real question is can we contain costs so we
avoid paying excessive profits.
At the Nordic Green conference in Menlo Park, Calif., Mark Duvall, director of the Electric Power Research Institute, talks to Sven Thesen of Better Place about the economic model associated with deploying the smart grid for electric vehicles. Thesen believes ultimately, it will be cheaper to run EVs on the grid versus today’s current infrastructure, but costs will still be passed on to customers.
