Businesses urged to install charging ports on premises for electric vehicles

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Businesses across the country have been called upon to follow in the footsteps of Jenny’s on the Boulevard and install charging ports for electric vehicles (EVs) on their premises.

Visham Babwah, the chief executive officer of P&V Marketing, made the appeal during an EV open house event held on Saturday at Jenny’s on the Boulevard, on Cipriani Boulevard, in Port of Spain.

Chief operations officer of Jenny’s, Jonathan Sharma, spoke about the future of driving, saying that the EV concept was here to stay.

Babwah highlighted the tax exemptions offered on all EVs with a range of 250 km to 600 km on a fully charged car, and the three-year or 50,000 km warranty that comes with each vehicle.

Among the EVs showcased at the event were the Nissan Leaf, MG ZS EV, Honda Vezel, Mercedes Benz A250e, Benz EQB and EQC, and the Tesla Model 3.

As the country continues to move towards a cleaner, more sustainable future, it is imperative that more businesses take the lead and invest in EV charging infrastructure, Babwah said.

are EV's really more efficient than ICE's tho?

With all the transmission losses from Power plant to Outlet plus the impact of mining for so many batteries.... Wudn't it be easier to just have each car generate it's own power?

A radical concept I know.

[pugboy]

its a big farce
they using electricity generated via fossil fuels to fill the car battery
so no savings to the environment, plus other the mfg of the battery also has environmental cost

[eliteauto]

Nissan e-power vehicles do that, they use an ICE to generate electricity for the battery drivetrain

[pugboy]

niro is similar i think

still seeing massy selling their cars at the same price before exemption was passed.

EV chargers will work in a premises that expects their patrons to stay for 20-60 minutes. Jenny's will see ROI because customers that come to charge will pay for drinks and appetizers at the least.

I can see chargers working in supermarkets and other restaurants, maybe even car parking lots in San Fernando and PoS. The investment will be intense, and only those with the belly, and more importantly, the capital will follow through.

so jenny hopping out in a short skirt to plug in ppl car for them ?
I not too sure a bigshot limer gonna pullup and hop out to pull cable and plug in

Is the charging stations going to be free or will there be some sort of monitoring on the pumps to pay for usage?

[paid_influencer]

will not work/

free pumps create expectation -> expectation creates dependence -> dependence creates resentment

in the medium term it will kill the productive, non-free side of the business

[st7]

^ how's your PEP deposit going?

Commercial chargers process card payments at the charger. The user prepays and is refunded the difference when they disconnect. The charger owner/lessee sets the surcharge and kwh price.

Math quiz:

What are the surcharge and kwh fees for a one-hour EV charge that is free?

You have 10 minutes.

Go.

Aim of a business is to make a profit so "free charging" which will increase their electricity bill is a no

Jenny's gives one hour of Type 2 charger usage for free.

in case you chaps didnt realise
the aim of the business(jennys) is to attract folks with electric cars which in her mind would be higher tier folks
and of course those folks expected to spend more moola without question

fellas who asking about charging fee and ting can easily figure out their place on the ladder lol

The only people that driving fully electric cars at the moment are at the top of the food chain. However when the middle class able to access more in due time all that "free" charging done.

[pugboy]

the middle class is fast disappearing
and middle class priced electric cars would only be of the shoebox type like leafs
dont see our population going that way like barbados
they probably went that way due to fuel prices

Big spenders are not the same as high tier folks. Credit cards and instagram stories have people so detached from their reality.

The "if you hadda ask the price" is such a destructive, poor mentality.

You're right. The most that the one hour of electricity will cost Jenny's is TT$8.

Jenny's gets free advertising for the cost of installing the chargers. And the EV driver gets reserved parking near the entrance.

Most of the people with that attitude doh have 'fuckyou' money to begin with. It's either a complete facade for the influencer lifestyle, OR they are the children of new generation money.

[pugboy]

at the end of the day the establishment aint care if money old, new or inherited

Actually I used to work in sales for an electronics place for a lil bit

The poor/middle classs man would ask for a discount. But wouldn't fight you down much. He would just explore that possibility.

But the rich mfs with the last names to suit, used to fight we dong to the dirt dread.

The definitive answer - so as to benefit the uniformed pontificators.
Millennial men – with lots of money – are leading the way on buying electric cars
