My neighbour's charge point is officially a public charger. It is located on his driveway, behind a closed fence. The reason it is 'public' is because there were government kickbacks for installing public charge points with no requirements to have ypur 'public' chargepoint be usable by the public.
This is not a one time exception. You can drive through city streets with your GPS showing multiple nearby public access chargers. With none in sight (they are iside people's garages or on their property behind closed fences).

- ac29 2y agoThat is textbook fraud. Courts consider intent, you cant just rules lawyer them with an argument that "it didnt technically say my public charger had to be accessible to the public".

- Sohcahtoa82 2y agoDepends on the lawyer, judge, and possibly jury. We've definitely seen cases where intent of a law was clear, but the ruling was made according to the letter of the law. It's basically why Legalese exists. They have to try to cover every possible corner case and explicitly spell things out as much as possible to avoid loopholes that can be created by creative interpretations of the letter.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoI'd report it to ChargePoint as not public (in the app, there is an option), and if you're feeling spicy, report it to whatever regulatory body handed out subsidies under the conditions you mentioned.
