In Church Hill I would anticipate passers-by unplugging it in the middle of the night for lols, judging by the frequency with which teenagers check for unlocked car doors in the neighborhood. I'm not sure if there's a lockable charging cable of some kind.

Yeah I could definitely see that happening. I'm envisioning trying to restrict my charging to like, daylight hours when I'm home (I work from home most of the time), which I think would cut down on that sort of interruption, but I definitely agree that's a factor to consider.

Do you know whether there's any ordinance/restriction on the sort of installation/infrastructure I'm describing? I'd obviously expect to pay for it out of pocket, but I'm fairly new to the city and not sure whether that sort of thing would run afoul of aesthetic restrictions or anything.
