Those numbers are very inflated, tho. A lot of Charge Point locations aren't open to the public. Some Ikea stores in the US use them to charge delivery vans, and those aren't open to the public.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla has more public chargers than anyone else on this list.

It does specifically say “public” in reference to the ChargePoint locations.

Yeah, so that just means that you can use your personal ChargePoint card to use the station. I once went through 5 different "public" charge point locations that weren't publically accessible at all.

I'm currently living in an apartment complex that has "public" charging stations, and most of them are on reserved parking spaces.
