Why can't they just put car chargers in all the parking lots, or any place they can put a parking meter?
They could, but then the electric cars would work, and that would piss off the grumpy ole fuddy duddies.

Easy fix.  Take your money, and start a charging station business.  That is capitalism for you.

At marinas, you plug your boat into a electrical box on the dock, and the marina adds it to your bill.  And every dock has it's own box.  But the parking meter outlet concept is already available.  At Hilo, I plugged my electrical cord up to a thing that looked just like a parking meter on the shore.  Put in a quarter and turn the knob.  You could put in several quarters and you got extra time, just like a parking meter.  Run your electrical system, charge your battery, and watch a movie.  I mean this isn't some big deal that a genius has to come along and create.  You just buy the things and install them.  You could probably order one tonight, and have it working by this weekend.

Then do it.
Why would I want to do that?  You should get someone to explain this capitalism thing to you.

You are a socialist parasite then?  Or are you hoping to be made a commissar for electric autos?

You do realize you're not making sense, right?

They can. And the probably will. Target needs to have a parking lot and until now, there was little to no opportunity for them to realize any revenue on that real estate. They need a parking lot so they had to buy the land, build the lot on it and maintain it even though they make no money from it directly. Putting in banks of charging stations would change that. The moment there are enough electric vehicles on the road to make installation of charging stations worth while, they will pop up in parking lots everywhere.

I like the idea of recharging you electric car while shopping.  Chargers aren't free to install, but merchants do loss-leaders to get people into the stores.

I saw an ad today for luggage that includes a phone charger.  Tech will advance.
