Most 7-11s near where I live have very limited parking. And it's not a place where you spend much time shopping - you're usually in and out in 5 minutes or less. Having cars charging there for an hour or more will eat up that limited parking space. It's good to have more charging stations, but it would seem like it would make more sense to have them in front of stores where people tend to shop for a long time - just thinking out loud: maybe this could be a way to revive shopping malls? Offer cut rate charging stations, people walk around in the mall waiting for their car to charge and maybe end up buying stuff.
