> ~60% of capital cost

As far as I can tell there is no source provided for the number. Nor is there are source for the stall cost.

Tesla almost certainly has the lowest stall cost on the market, while consistently providing higher uptime and reliability. I want to see numbers based on them. It is no secret that the other charging stall manufacturers are incompetent (terribly reliability and uptime), so it wouldn't surprise me if their hardware was designed poorly AND terribly high in cost.

According to a bid in Texas, Tesla's cost per stall was about 20% of competing companies. So is the cost a problem when the charger is designed correctly, or only when not?
