Road-tripping in an electric vehicle might be slightly more expensive this year. On Thursday morning, Electrify America informed its user base that starting on March 6, the company will raise its prices.
"We've tried hard to maintain our current pricing, but rising operational and energy costs have now made adjusting our pricing necessary," the company wrote in an email to customers. "We shall continue to maintain simple, uniform pricing across the country, and this adjustment ensures we can uphold our commitment to drive electric vehicle (EV) adoption and the future of electric mobility."
Currently, guests (i.e., people without an Electrify America account) and Pass members pay $0.43 per kWh in states that allow billing by unit of energy. That's increasing by 11.6 percent to $0.48 per kWh starting next month.
