Hi Robert and All, The best place for EV charge stations is on utility power poles by the utilities. It's the low cost easy to do solution. Just drop a line to a 4 unit station would cost them just $1k to do. Well placed units would pay for themselves in a yr. It's what Bob Rice, etc did in the first cross country EV race. They requested temp pole drops from utilities all across the country to do it in the 70's? Especially for apartments, city, shopping centers, businesses, etc seems to be the best choice by those expert at high power. And leaves it ready to do V2G which is only 5 yrs away if they are smart. Utilities are losing demand despite more, larger homes, buildings and people. EIA US Utility Output Report to solar and eff. And EV's is their last chance to reverse that.

Yet the old mechanical ones are being replaced by themillions by new gadgetry. Where are they all going?
I found one in an antique shop, but the owner seemed to think it was made out of Gold. I am sure cities excess the old ones for scrap metal prices. IF ANYONE CAN FIND A SOURCE, we could really move EV's forward by adding an L1 outlet to th em.
