All this suggests a lack of serious purpose by the City of White Plains.

Electric Vehicle Charging
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in White Plains
The City of White Plains currently offers twenty publicly accessible electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in parking structures and lots throughout the City.
Eight EV charging spaces are located in the surface lot adjacent to the White Plains TransCenter Garage on the North side. Four of those are Level 2 charging stations and four are Level 1 charging stations. Monthly permits are available for $129.00. This fee guarantees a spot and includes parking and electricity...

My comments in my previous post:
... Galleria (Lexington-Grove) parking garage ...
1. no signs directing you to the location of the EV charging stations
2. different types of EV charging stations at each of the two locations tried
3. 60% of the EV charging stations found were not operational
I may try this at one or two more city public parking areas. Will the result be better? Does anyone in city government care? Do the car companies selling EVs care? Or is all this just another feel good exercise, a Kabuki dance?

Yeah, there are signs but only near the spaces. There are no signs indicating that any such EV spaces exist, much less where they are. Plus, the signs are confusing and there are three different types of signs and seeming procedures here and at the two Galleria garage locations. It is reminiscent of the early days of pumping your own gas with different interfaces and payment methods.
