GRUDGING COMPLIANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY WONDERFUL

Years ago VW got caught cheating on the tests for its diesel cars.  As part of their penalty they had to set up a corporation that built a bunch of EV charging stations across the formerly great state of California and agree to pimp electric cars.  

Trouble is those charging stations are apparently not particular reliable and the company VW set up to make amends for their perfidy is not so wonderful at maintaining those chargers.

Maybe it's just me but it seems kind of like a recalcitrant teenager compelled to clean up his/her/its room who throws everything into a pile at the bottom of the closet or under the bed.  They seem to go along with the program, but........

Or maybe I am reading too much into the circumstances.
