Pretty convenient when all the spots are empty. What do you do when all the spots are full and there is no one attending their vehicles? I saw this very same circumstance off Interstate Five in Woodburn, OR. Full charging stations while the owners were eating at the nearby restaurants or at the outlet mall. I would be a little warm if I was on a long distance run and needed a charge.
I assume the chargers were there because of the restaurants and the mall, and proximity to the interstate. I've considered a BEV as a third vehicle but will probably wait until sufficient infrastructure and manners are in place. I fill my diesel at Costco; I would never consider going in the store to do some shopping while the pump is running.
Yah that would suck. So far so good. But really it’s just a small teardrop. It takes 3 minutes to unhook and back in the car. And some Superchargers have trailer spots or drive thrus. People don’t leave their vehicles unattended to long as that can run into idle fees. In my experience that hasn’t been a problem but I’m sure it could be. We also charge at the campsite when staying at serviced sites. Although this year we have been dry camping more.
