Ports is right. This is only viable if the cars bring the cable.

Seattle tried installing chargers at public street parking spots and the cables were stolen.

There are endless street level, public EV chargers in Seattle with cables.

Some random chargers being vandalized isn't really indicative of anything.

Huh, I can’t think of a single one. All the chargers I know about are in parking garages.

That's a first step, but I don't see parking meters in US suburbs. Some barely have streetlights.

though, In the suburbs, you're more likely to have a house with a garage where there can be a charging port.

Running a 240v 50A power cable is orders of magnitude cheaper than building a gas pump.
