Sounds good when I said it, but the math doesn't work out. People
probably said the same of the minimal investment in adding wifi to a
coffee shop, and it just made people stay longer while maybe ordering
another drink. I bet most coffee shop owners who looked at churn
pre-wifi saw more people coming in and out than now with people camping
out.

120K for 4 chargers, plus electricity - and a EV owner is going to go in
and nurse a small coffee for 30 minutes.
