Drivers must pay 25 cents per kilowatt hour while their cars charge at downtown spots in addition to the $1.20 an hour they pay to park in the structures.

The Downtown Development Authority says the new charging fee is meant to be revenue-neutral.

The fees will cover administrative costs, the cost of the energy from DTE Energy, city hall costs and the costs to maintain and operate the chargers.
