A dual-charger Chargepoint is something like $12k, so for a large tech company it's straightforward to throw in a dozen or so when they're putting up a new building and parking lot/garage. For the bay area, though, I think the major constraint is actually transmission -- how many amps the utility can deliver to your campus. PG&E has some technical debt here, as the public safety power shut-offs and fires of the last few years have shown. $dayjob often has a waitlist of folks waiting for the finite EV chargers; folks with backup gas tanks (plug-in hybrid EVs) and Teslas have to give priority to folks who need to charge to get home. Beyond "just add more chargers" it would be nice to make the apps better reflect ground truth. I'll find chargers that are listed as available in the app but are actually unavailable: Chargers in basement levels that have been closed due to lower COVID-induced parking volumes. In garages that are only open 9-5 M-F. Or ones that are broken and wrapped with caution tape. I think every long-distance-EV-drive story I've seen has at least one case of "just having enough range to make it to a charger" only to find the charger is broken.
