A Detroit Hyundai dealership is sparking controversy by offering an unusual service: charging customers $400 to plug in their electric vehicles at the dealership’s lot. The fee, which applies even when the vehicle is parked and not being serviced, has raised questions about whether it violates state laws or standard business practices. Critics argue the policy could discourage EV owners from visiting the dealership, while supporters claim it covers the cost of maintaining charging infrastructure. The debate highlights growing tensions over how dealerships handle EV charging access and pricing.
