A more recent article in the WSJ mentioned Tesla’s charging sites were both cheaper and offered more chargers:
> Five states—Ohio, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Maine and Colorado—have selected winners at this point, and full details on sites and designs aren’t yet available. Tesla’s bids averaged around $392,000 a site compared with an average of $795,000 from others.
> In most cases, Tesla plans to install 8 chargers, and in some cases a dozen. Most companies are sticking to the minimum required by the federal government—at least four fast-charging ports at a station.

Tesla: $392k/8=$49k Others: $795/4=$199k
49/199 is roughly 1/4th
