Looks like you're assuming every charge costs them $20. From my (admittedly skimmed) reading of the article - that's a special case for scooters that've "gone missing", and is effectively a "reward for finding and returning it".

Correct. $20 appears to be the exception. The majority of charges seem to be worth $5
