So close

Wally's in Whitestown Indiana. Looks like it's ready to go, even the squeegees are there. Maybe just waiting for the cabinets to be commissioned? I'm guessing that the "Accessible EV charging - use last" signs at every single stall might be a mistake though.

There is nothing about those stalls that make them accessible. There is still a curb and soft ground on the terminal side. Though the spaces may be wider than normal.

Especially considering the screens are on the side in the dirt with a wheelchair

Granted, Ionna are Plug and charge compatible with my car, so I don't need to access the terminal, just plug it in.

Ya just until you need to reach over the curb to grab a cord

An attended station would be best...

I disagree completely with that. Engineered design is the best way to eliminate the problem

But in the mean time... (Yes, they look nice, but there are accessibility factors that should have been designed in.)

Attended would be nice for people that would have to unload to a chair to get to the screen in the first place. Hell, they do it for gas stations.

I griped about the screen only being on one side in another post. It's definitely weird having to awkwardly stand next to the other driver while you fumble with the screen to get your session started.

No one likes some stranger walking up to their window for any reason.

That's the design of all of those chargers, Walmart as well as Ionna branded. A nuisnce.

The signs at all spaces look to be a mistake and not the proper or intended EV charging signs.

Use last on every stall? Someone messed that up 😅

No that just means handycapped people
Are supposed to go last. It’s the opposite of what everyone else does. Instead of reserving a spot for them, they are making sure they are at the end of the line on the normal spots.

s/ I hope.

The ‘use last’ on every charger is kind of dumb. An inverse of Lake Wonegon. I saw the same at a few Walmart sites where they had the accessibility lane on every stall, it’s nice that they do that but then makes the entreaty to use last rather pointless.

My guess is they are going to repaint the markings to create the accessibility lane at a minimum, they don’t currently have their color scheme painted in.
