It's just like the Chinese saying that "no one will engage in a money losing business, but someone will engage in a money-making but illegal business".

I think the chargers are tough to break even with but I would imagine ancillary revenue (people buying food) would help with this though it probably works best when there's several business who chip in for it. I wonder which price point/type of product would be the high revenue next to an EV charger - like if some luxury brand puts a store next to a charger in Hope would it make money just from people stopping to charge? 30 min stop and 1 out of 50 people buy a $1000 handbag vs a McDonald's where 50 out of 50 buy something to eat.
