from Moonbattery:
Another use has been found for the thousands of electric vehicle charging stations that have been established at taxpayer expense because our rulers have decided for inscrutable reasons that the weather gods want us to drive dangerous, expensive, and unreliable electric cars. In the decaying remnants of moonbattery-addled Los Angeles, they have become homeless encampments:

When you live in Los Angeles, it’s better to have a charging station at home for that $60,000 EV. The closer you get to downtown, the charging stations have homeless “attendants” who live on the same sidewalk as the stations. pic.twitter.com/scH4QTHIuN

The Daily Mail has some numbers:
More than 69,000 homeless people currently live in the city.
Last year, Los Angeles had 62,851 registered electric vehicles, with city officials projecting even more in 2022. California as a whole had 563,070 registered EVs in 2021, more than 100,000 more compared to the year before.
The boom has meant that charging stations have popped up throughout the city, with about 4,296 public stations installed so far, according to PlugShare.com.
And even more are expected to spring up after the state approved a ban on the sale of new gas cars by 2035, demonstrating a commitment to electric vehicles.
Too bad it takes so long for an EV to charge. Standing around in a homeless encampment is not likely to be pleasant — or safe, especially in a state with such restrictive gun laws that criminals have law-abiding citizens outgunned.
It is increasingly clear why EVs have to be not only heavily subsidized but mandated by Big Government to get people to drive them. What is less clear is why our rulers are pushing them. It certainly is not out of concern for the environment. Most likely the actual objective is to end individual transportation.
