There is no reason why they would have done this. Plenty of opportunity to create their own slow charging network. They were about to set up a way to pay for the energy, but instead chose to shut it down. In Chicago we’re in seriously need for more charging options. Is anyone interested in discussing how to create a new network, or to push to have these old Volta stations turned back on?
So taxpayer dollars funded these ffucks to the tube of 15 million (give or take a milly) to technology that Shell is now dismantling. ~190 employees lose their jobs. Thousands of retail charging locations disappear. Classic enshittification via acquisition. microsoft python flexing, embrace ,extend ,extinguish
