More than half the states have near identical registration fees for EVs. Along with all the other fees, my renewal is $700-800 per year here in North Carolina.

I can imagine. The local McDonalds franchise group here has solar awnings over their parking lots, and ChargePoint L2 stations at each restaurant. But the ChargePoint stations can’t actually be used because they stopped paying for the subscription. It says as much on their screen (something like “service inactive, 0 courtesy charges remaining”, I don’t remember exactly). It must be expensive for the owner to have decided at some point to cancel after investing so much in the fancy solar-powered shaded stations.

Give ChargePoint a call. That’s their whole business, helping private businesses/individuals become hosts for charging stations, and then handling the software/billing/services aspect of it for you after the install. Financially there’s no ROI, no fast charging network is profitable. The upfront costs are too great and paid utilization too low.
