A poll of more than 8,200 drivers has found widespread support for green signs pointing to public EV charging locations and pricing displays similar to fuel stations.

Absolutely. Clear price signage should be mandated, just as it is for fuel along with the calibration of energy measuring equipment to within a certain tolerance (again like fuel pumps).

I don't want price totems in all situations, but clear signage and a price I can read before I get out of the car. Not buried in an app. Not on the screen after you've started charging. Not in tiny text that's unreadable.

They also don't tell you how much money they're going to reserve on your card.
