The average rate per killowatthour in the United States in Jan. 2025 was 16 cents, according to Electric Choice, a website that tracks EV charging price trends nationally. The lowest rate in the nation is in Florida, at 11 cents, and the highest is in Hawaii, at 33 cents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe township\u2019s Sustainable Brick Committee has worked with Chargepoint, the vendor for the charging stations, and reviewed neighboring municipalities and the fees they assess for their charging stations,\u201d de Jong said.<\/p>\n<p>ChargePoint has deployed a \u201cJ plug\u201d style charging system at its Brick locations, which produce 6.6 kW of power. The chargers were funded through a state grant; now that the rates have been set, they will soon be opened to the public for use after initially being used for the township\u2019s vehicles.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/2025\/02\/brick-sets-rates-for-new-public-ev-charging-stations-in-town\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brick Township officials have set the rates for new electric vehicle charging stations that have been installed in town.
