This is gonna need a guy overseeing the cars being charged right? And so cutting on the profits/ROI of the whole thing, which is the only thing walmarts and stuff actually care about

I’m not familiar with the yank method of gasoline pumps where you charge yourself and then pay, ¿what stops you from just fleeing with a full tank?

    I think the charging cables themselves are way more of a risk than the cars themselves (at least from Walmart’s perspective). Those cables have a lot of copper in them and it’s easier to steal those than the cars, and they’re balls-deep in surveillance tech so they’ll probably do the thing where they let people do it enough until they reach felony levels and then send the cops after them.

    USA gas pumps get unlocked at the cashier so you ask them and pre-pay there or at the pump through a credit card. Then you get to watch ads while you’re pumping gas dean-smile

      Hmm, so they are deffinitely gonna need a guy watching over the cars being charged. The cable cords are part of the cars right?
