There is no reason why they would have done this. Plenty of opportunity to create their own slow charging network. They were about to set up a way to pay for the energy, but instead chose to shut it down. In Chicago we’re in seriously need for more charging options. Is anyone interested in discussing how to create a new network, or to push to have these old Volta stations turned back on?
Yea exactly that, your experience is that of late stage capitalism which fucks us. There was a clear opportunity for Shell to create a decent slow charging network, but they instead stopped it and now no one can use it. Now personally I’m limited to Electrify America (owned by Volkswagen), and Tesla superchargers which only one of it compatible far away. Meanwhile in other countries like in Europe and in China they are putting chargers everywhere.
