Found a hidden Level 2 charger behind a bodega in Brooklyn

I was down to 8 miles of range near Flatbush last night and all the public chargers were taken. Spotted a dusty ChargePoint station behind a corner store that wasn't on any map app. Has anyone else stumbled on a random charger that saved your trip?

You were really sweating it over 8 miles of range? My Leaf would've made it another 15 at least.

Understand your point, but 8 miles of range anxiety is a real thing when you have no idea if the next charger is even working. Most public chargers are broken or ICEd half the time, so that buffer can disappear fast. Honestly, I'd rather sweat it out with a smaller margin than end up totally stranded.
