The SF Bay Area has always been EV friendly, with lots of charging opportunities at parking garages, workplaces, and Whole Foods markets. These are almost universally J1772 (ChargePoint or Sema) with rare Blink stations. My local Whole Foods began some construction next to the existing 2 ChargePoint stations, hidden by opaque construction fencing. The fence is now down, and I see that they have installed 2 new charging stations. The left hand one is a Nissan branded Chademo station, and the right hand one is not completed but it looks like it will have 2 additional cables and connectors (not clear to me what these will be yet).

Not sure what the imposing pylon is in front of the stanchions (?electrical equipment). I do see some kind of RFID card reader on the Chademo unit--unsure of what network it would belong to.

Also not sure who paid for the hardware, and if it will still be free/no charge (as is the ChargePoint, though you of course need a ChargePoint account and RFID card).
