Most EV charging station in the US are now at home and many are being put in at restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, malls, theme parks where people do their shopping while their car is being charged.

Where?

You actually think somebody is going to leave their car plugged into a charging station while they spend a day at a theme park or for an hour and a half at a mall?

That's like parking in a gas station with the gas hose left in your car while you go shopping. Meanwhile, every Tom, Dick and Harry decides to drive up and put that ole nozzle in their car and fill up and drive away, leaving you with the bill for not only your gas but theirs.

Ain't gonna happen.

Six flags, Disney all installing charging stations. I’m sure it works on a valet system once your car is charged they drive it to a parking spot. I’m sure Disney will have the process all worked out.

EVs have a feature that locks the nozzle in place. No one can remove it unless they have the key fob for that car.
