    How is that not monitored though? Surely a station showing a fault code would automatically notify someone.

      It does, but it’s likely the government incentives were to build the stations, not to keep them running. We had that problem in the US for a while until the rules for subsidies were recently updated.

      Sometimes physical damage (like a frayed cable on the charger, or a damaged connector) can’t be monitored remotely – but they would certainly see that a station’s usage stats have suddenly dropped, and could send someone by to check on it.
