A gas station attendant isn't likely to fix a breakaway hose or pressure nozzle any more than they're going to replace a 240 to 400v cable.

An attendant can reset a pump or circuit breaker though. And more importantly place the service call or call the police for a vandal.




You would think resetting a breaker could be automatically or remotely done based on some telemetry from a self diagnostic system (or lack of expected telemetry). I would think remotely monitored cameras and a voice interface (would be a nice feature) on the charger would be a more efficient way for watching vandalism and communicating with customers.
