Watched EVMs latest offering on YT yesterday and I have to admit, it was thought provoking. He was offering debate on the potential safety issues associated with using lonely single chargers stuck at the arse end of an unlit carpark, especially if you are a woman using it at night. Plus the problem of any person faced with a threatening situation being stuck in the car unable to drive off because they need to get out to release the cable.
I must admit, I hadn't given this much thought but can see the issue. Hopefully, the problem of crummy lonely chargers in unlit dangerous locations will diminish quickly as more hubs and more chargers in fuel stations mean that people have the choice of avoiding the crappy dangerous ones. But it does now seem like an obvious safety measure to have a button inside the car to jettison the charger cable in an emergency so someone feeling threatened can get the hell out of there. Why has this never been addressed?
Has anyone actually found themselves in such a situation?
