OK, I looked.  Nearest one is about 30 miles away at an outlet mall
that my wife uses that has no store that cater to men.  The next
nearest is 70 miles away.  And all of them are in a direction I
would never travel (towards NYC).  There are none anywhere around
here where I am likely to go.

Well, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Metro area is the 3rd or 4th largest
in PA and there are none listed on the Internet as being here.

Sorry, I don't live in Norfolk, VA.  What you got in Scranton, PA?
(Still over 20 miles away, but I do go that way once ion a while.)

Not even the right country.

And what does this service cost?  I understand even Tesla is no longer
providing free charging.
