As long as there's a place nearby where you can score some "comfortable footwear," you'll be fine hoofing yourself around town all day while your pony recuperates.
Agreed! Ironically, that shoe store is owned by the guy the NBA contracted for custom orthotics for players for 20 years, so I'm assuming the shoes are up to the challenge, even if the charger is not. LOL

I've had 8 to 10 hour long meetings at places like museums and industrial buildings. Sometimes having a 15A plug is great. It wasn't the best-ever charge, but adding 8-14 kWh to my car while it's just sitting there doing nothing else has been much appreciated.

Plugshare is wrong. There are *two* of those charging stations in the parking lot. And apparently only Tesla owners use them. LOL
The icon in the link indicates it's a 20 A plug. If they intended 2 vehicles to be able to plug into each "station" it might be wired as a split receptacle (like in a kitchen counter plug) which actually makes 240 V available at the plug-on 2 separate 120V circuits. One could easily and safely make an adaptor to use the nominal maximum loading of a 240V, 20A circuit, which would be considerably superior to the 15 A trickle charger...if you could park there a few hours.

Actually that would be kind of useful if there was an adapter that lets you plug into two 110v outlets at the same time...
Yosu mean, this? Parkworld 61544 Combiner, Household Regular (2) 5-15 Plug to RV 14-50 Receptacle, (2) 5-15 to 14-50R V Adapter Cord https://a.co/d/8Dn0cO0

I have one. It's meant to be used on two separate circuits, and you'll need an EVSE that will step down to 30 amps or less in most cases (the Ford mobile charger will not). I have the Mustart 10/24/32 amp charger in a bag with this adapter and a 30' extension cord. Gotta be prepared here in Indiana. Not joking.

Perfect for this application. Those crafty campers can get anything that they can think of manufactured.
