Anecdotally, I was traveling in Maryland and struck up a conversation with a fella that worked for the state weights and measurements. He was going around checking gas pump accuracy. He said years go between when pumps are checked.
- ethbr1 3y agoBalancing efficiency in auditing is fascinating to me. It always seems to boil down to "likelihood of auditing" vs "penalties for failing audit." In single-business industries (e.g. selling gas), I'd imagine penalties are highly effective. A gas station banned from selling gas because they were caught mis-measuring amounts isn't much of a gas station!

They know some aren’t working, they just can’t or won’t do anything about it. There doesn’t seem to be a downside to taking that money and putting up kaput chargers.
