Despite the other reply, it seems a strange cause of anxiety. I've 0-for-lifetime in seeing a vandalized charging station -- but I'm sure they happen.
...but yes, even if copper theft and station vandalism is a problem is your region/neighborhood, you can see the status of charging stations (available, offline, in-use) from your car's navigation/information system, and from a variety of web and smart-phone apps.
Remember, unless you're driving >90 miles freeway in your Leaf before getting home, or >200 miles freeway in your Tesla without stopping a relatives house (where you can just plug into the wall), you don't need a public charger.
The primary role of public chargers is simply topping off to ease range anxiety.
I know, at a glance, that the nearest public charger to me is online, operational, and has two (of two) stations open.
There are maps that aggregate both Blink chargers and other networks - but Blink is probably 80% of the ones here and have a nice interface. The in-dash information system gets real-time updates as well, and even will route you to a nearby charger if the battery is low. [It's moderately obnoxious about it...]
By 2364, the Federation Starfleet had begun installing holodecks aboard their vessels. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint")
During the 2360s and 2370s, a starship could have one or more holodecks depending on the vessel's size or purpose. For example, Defiant-class starships did not have a holodeck, while Galaxy-class vessels had several. (TNG: "11001001", "Homeward")
The two holodecks of Intrepid-class starships were the only places other than sickbay where the EMH was able to exist (without a mobile emitter) after the crew modified his program so it wasn't as tightly integrated into the sickbay's systems. In Prometheus-class starships, the EMH could move more around the ship freely because all decks were equipped with holoemitters. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle")
Tesla's charging system is a joke, having to go park in some far off small town and wait a hour for your car to recharge is not a solution to range anxiety
n.b. I own a Leaf.
Range anxiety is real, but subsides pretty quickly when you realize that since your car tops off every day when you get home, you're rarely in danger of exceeding your range -- and that's true even for me, living in a suburb of Phoenix with it's massive sprawl.
While you certainly need to conscious of your driving plans and charger locations, rarely do you have to divert to some far-away location. Most of the time you're driving your car, it's to work and back, or running errands, or out socializing -- and there's a pretty good chance that you're going to end up somewhere where there's a charger already in the front row waiting for you at your destination. There's 232 Blink chargers alone in Phoenix proper and over 500 in Metro Phoenix -- and that doesn't count chargers from the other companies.
You don't go somewhere foreign to charge. You just top off occasionally while you're already doing what you're doing - many times for free.
What happens if somebody does walk past the guards into the nuclear arsenal?
You get shot dead by the guys in the bunker, who are armed and psychologically screened not only to be able to launch nuclear weapons, but to be perfectly willing to shoot intruders first and never ask questions.
You're the smartest guy and most accomplished guy on the internet (for sure!), but through your fog of autism, you fail to see what things are relevant to encyclopedia entries and what things aren't.
Seems like the guy who keeps removing your "valuable contributions" is right.
There's a lot of dick moderators and revisionist editors on Wikipedia, but some of them exist because of people like you who submit the same anonymous change 20 times...
Also, yes, I would love to see your Time Cube edits. Please like them next time!
It's very easy to do all of these things, and then have one server get missed from your production change list....and your validation check *seems* OK.
I'm sure someone will chime in and claim to be the em-effing Change MASTER! but this seems like an ordinary error, the sort I've seen a hundred times before, where one server is a tiny bit wonky, and during the change, something doesn't happen as expected. Normally it's an "inexpensive" error, where some of your VPN users get randomly disconnected......and sometimes it's the sort of error where you lose half a billion dollars an hour by HFT trading......badly.

While obviously not all (poor) drivers have insurance companies -- they're almost always who pays in suits.
With Freedom Hosting and TSR gone, I assume it's down from like 12 sites to 3 or 4....

I don't think you understand what range anxiety is.
You definitely don't.
You're saying that you've got a 6-hour drive and need a vehicle that can do that without needing fuel. That has nothing to do with range anxiety.

How do you measure cost?
Wind, solar, hydro, nuclear mostly.

There's hundreds of other TV shows with similar pages.
It's an arbitrary distinction. Someone in power thinks those pages are relevant, and thinks plenty of other things aren't...
They're SUPPOSED to sleep during their 24 hour shift.
They're just supposed to close the door when they do it.

Simply put, the problem that Linux has is a lack of open source support from Nvidia and other companies in regards to drivers
While it's true that drivers are a problem, you won't get Linux on the desktop until AAA titles are released simultaneously on Linux.
When CoD:Ghosts comes out on Windows and consoles in a month, you'll know what kept Linux off the desktop.
The OP isn't trolling, despite the moderation. Nobody likes his truth.

As best as I can tell, you haven't had to do anything since...uh....longer than anyone's been on active duty.

Encyclopedia entries are for WHAT not HOW.
I'm sure your information is perfectly valid and should be published.
Funny. I only use it to get information on an episode of a television show.
Fanbois are allowed to write countless pages on minor characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Maybe things have changed since then.
They haven't.

I assume Brazil has some sort of crazy border-inspection tax system that prevents just ordering from any other country on the planet?
A genuine question.
