Let your public officials know! Deployment seems to be centered around the EV population for obvious reasons. More plug-in cars are coming with SAE CCS which can only help[/quote]
You must be joking...most "public officials" are clueless. It has to be entrepreneurial. I can't believe they aren't installed at more upscale shopping centers, shopping villages (like Freeport, ME, Woodbury Commons, NY, and Manchester, VT etc.) Retail developers and restauranteurs are missing the boat. You need to DO something (read: spend money) while the car is charging. We do have them at a few of our local large Price Chopper supermarkets, which is helpful; they are even FREE!
This weekend, I drove 60, miles north to Lake George Village, NY (not a posh destination, but a handy trial run), plugged the car into a Level 2 behind the Holiday Inn, waved my ChargePoint card and went off with my camera to look at tourists, boats, etc. Hoofed back to motel (several blocks from main shopping area) after lunch and a couple of hours and it had replenished enough charge to get me back home again.
Curiously, there is one located on utility property, about 3-4 miles from a Factory Outlet Plaza south of the village--and not within walking distance--of the shopping area. Dumb.
