    Unfortunately a lot of them are unusable. There are a lot of federal incentives to install them but none to keep them functional. I can find ev charging stations but they are almost always rusted connectors or simply broken.

      Once you open something up to the general public, they are going to ruin it almost instantly. Source: have worked in customer facing positions in the past.

        Yeah people can treat public stuff like crap. However most of what I’m seeing is stuff that was made as low cost as possible and just can last more than 6 months outside without rusting the charge connector.
