There is even a more ominous threat. If you must sit in a car in one location for a long recharge, you become prey to violent criminals.

I agree with this. If you pull into a busy gas station there is safety in numbers. I guess the same can be said for busy charging networks. A big box store I shop at has Tesla superchargers. The store recently brought in several portable camera surveillance systems for the parking lot. I haven't heard of any violent crimes in the news, but they put those portable systems in for a reason. I believe the store closes at midnight...

“If you must sit in a car in one location for a long recharge, you become prey to violent criminals.”

Or stupidity. When I was younger, quite a while ago, dates used to go to drive-in theaters. Best make out idea ever invented for youth who couldn’t afford a secure place to get it on. But it also led to one little problem that was never discussed...damage.

I have no idea how many speakers were torn from their pedestal and tossed onto the roadside a few miles up the road. Nor did I never understand why the theater owners didn’t just put a box next to the road outside the theater a little ways for the ripped out boxes to be put in to salvage parts.

And if there are only a couple of charging units available, I wonder how long they will last for public use? Get ready. The competition for charging time will get limited as even more of the operation units that are going to be damaged increase, some for stupidity and some for fun. If they can burn up a town for their professional football team losing, (or winning), what chance does a charging unit have?
