Some dipshit would try crushing it with their lifted diesel pickup to compensate for their tiny pp.

The far larger problem would be that every single charging cable would be stolen in 60 minutes or less.

But then again, that can be solved with a pair of concrete bollards. One on each side.

If they were going to be crushed it'd mostly be by EV drivers who can't fucking park. Adding bollards could make opening the charging side door pretty interesting for some models. As an example if there were bollards in the setup in the picture then you'd be entirely unable to open the right rear door of the vehicle. For vehicles who have their charging port on the front ahead of the drivers door the driver themselves may be unable to exit.
