Anyone know how the price of electricity from these chargers compares to prices in the home?

I just wonder about possible non-car use-cases. E.g. someone is off the grid and they use a cargo cycle to bring batteries¹ to one of these charging stations. Will they be fleeced on price, or are there subsidies that could perhaps make the cost lower than household electric?

① asking w.r.t. both lead-acid batteries and li-ion, though I suspect these chargers would be li-ion only.
