At a hotel I checked in to about a year ago, they had no dedicated EV chargers, but told me I could use their plug in the parking lot. It was only 120v/15A, but good enough for me to top off at bight enough to get back home. It was a plug in the base of a light pole. They even coned off the space for me so I could have it when I arrived.
I plugged in the first evening and and when I checked via the phone app a few hours later I wasn't charging. I went out to see what's up, and the plug was dead. Another plug on a pole a few rows over was also dead. A few rows over from that (and in-line with the plugs) at the edge of the parking lot overlooking the adjacent freeway was a much larger pole supporting a billboard overhanging that freeway.
On that pole was a breaker box with conduit leading down in to the ground. Presuming the breaker was inside, it was locked. I looked up and ALSO realized that the the lights illuminating the billboard were ALSO out. Utto.
I spoke with the hotel, and they said "Oh yeah, those poles actually belong to the city, we don't maintain those."
I eventually found another outlet to use, but I don't know how long that billboard was dark. It also illustrates that there may not be much excess capacity on street lighting circuits...
