I've never spent more than 5 minutes in a 7/11 in my life.

The point of those stores is to get in and get out quickly. It's the exact opposite of an EV charging station. In fact, most 7/11 in my area enforce the 'no loitering' rule.

I don't even think that 7/11 managers want you there for more than 5 minutes.

Restaurants or shopping malls I'll stay for 2 hours regularly, and a few level 2 chargers can actually get me 50 miles of charge in that time. That's where the EV chargers should be.
