I was at an arcade (Round1) in Las Vegas and this place has free Volta chargers around the mall. I went at night and there was a security officer asking someone about sleeping in his car. He said he was charging his car and sleeping in there. I thought this must have been the most inconvenient thing someone could do to get free charging or he had no choice and this was the only way he could get a charge.
If I lived nearby, I'd probably hope I live only 2-5 miles away and I could ride an E-scooter to access a far out free charger. And try do it every single night. I did this once on a 3-4 day trip to Arizona my friend's apartment happened to be about a mile away from a free overnight ChargePoint with no restrictions. Because it did work overnight and it wasn't blocked off because this shopping center did barricade the shopping center after 10pm-12am but not the one near the Carls Jr. Because of that I was able to commute without worrying where to charge during the day, being topped off at 100% everyday since we be back at his apartment every night. And there was a Tesla supercharger in case that free chargepoint wasn't an option like if it was all full.
But no one was using it at 12am so it was good for me, I was like the only car there. I would never want to sleep in my car just to charge. I'll use an E-scooter so I can try access free charging if it's nearby where I'm sleeping and hoping it's only around or less than 1 mile.
