From Tom Moloughney.

Yes, free electric vehicle charging programs suck! Why? Well, basically these free charging incentives mean people that don’t need to use public DC fast chargers are doing so – all the time.

That means the stations are getting clogged up and are not accessible for the people that really need them – those that can’t charge at home and those that are on long drives and need to charge to reach their destinations. In this video, I explain the problem and offer solutions.
