Charging Stations: Concept Versus Reality

With more electric cars coming onto the road, we’re seeing more electric car charging stations than ever before.

Last week, we covered some of the challenges associated with getting electric vehicle charging stations deployed in an equitable and fair manner across all parts of major cities -- and how right now, that’s not happening (https://youtu.be/gbt7nP6Jb3w).

But today we want to shine a light on another major problem with charging station infrastructure today - poor placement, poor amenities, and little to no provision for drivers who need to use mobility aids.
