And of course those expensive chargers will become bricks when the company goes out of business or just decides to stop supporting them.

Maybe. Or maybe someone buys them out, or the landlord is given the option to flip them open for free use. The good news is it should leave the infrastructure in place.

Hahahahaha, right, sure.

Not like we don't have plenty of current dead hardware as an example of just this issue.

How about we build on knowns, rather than corporate promise fairytales?

Once the infrastructure (conduit, circuit breakers, cable, etc.) is in place then swapping out the charger at the end of it is pretty much trivial.
