What's with all the different charging prices?

Hey, I'm new to EVs and I've got a quick question. So I've been looking for nearby charging stations and now I’m totally puzzled. There are a bunch of them around, but why do their prices vary so much? I mean, they all give the same power, right? So what's the deal with that? Any clue?

I think it varies with the location as well. Just the same as gas station prices.

Faster chargers, such as DC fast chargers, typically cost more than slower AC chargers. Different charging networks offer different pricing plans. Some charge a flat fee, while others charge according to how much energy you use. Apps such as PlugShare and ChargePoint can help you find the best deals. These apps allow you to compare prices, find nearby chargers, and even pay for your charging session.
