On: Charger outages leave northern Ontario EV drivers stranded

whose charger?

[jeffbee → jjtheblunt]

EVgo. Checking in on the plugshare for that station I was thinking, apparently the cords have been chopped off by vandals.

I dont understand why they didnt put the cable in the car itself. Just two female plugs (car and charger) with a M-M cable?

That's how Type 2 cables in Europe work, at least for L2 AC charging. DC chargers have built in cables, probably because the wire gauge needs to be a lot thicker to support the current (why haul all that around?) and for water cooling in the case of Supercharger V3s.
