Lanny, I continue to bless you for every post about new charger installations. This is a wonderful public service. Because we are in a townhouse with no garage, installing a charger at our home would be very costly and involve a long HOA approval process, so we try to use public chargers whenever possible. The impediment we most often encounter is chargers that are not functional, often it seems because of careless handling by a previous user. Why can’t users hang up chargers properly or coil cords onto the racks so they are not run over by vehicles? Also, is not possible to tell if the unit is operable until an attempt to charge is made and then the potential user must leave the spot and park elsewhere or risk being fined. We find that MAINTENANCE of these public domain units—both “free” and pay-by-kilowatt chargers—is poor or non-existent in many, many cases such as at the Columbia Mall, at office parks, parking garages, etc., It is not enough to install new units; EXISTING units need to be kept in working order for use to grow because users can rely upon their dependability.
it also should say the cost of charging or if free
