Several charging points for electric vehicles at a motorway service station still aren’t hooked up to the power network after connection delays.

its usually because the grid connection needs upgrading and crosses various properties, resulting in delays and sometimes court battles. You could argue that its wishful thinking to just put a load of chargers where theres no power and expect the council to roll over.
