Unable to charge two cars at once and only charges the car connected to the unit first no matter if they're fully charged or not

The charger stopped prematurely after ten minutes and in that time I also got a parking ticket! Despite being a few blocks from my apartment, will never go back

Safe. Police Officer was few hundred feet away keeping an eye out. Use the EVGo mobile app to initiate charging, do NOT attempt to use the RFID reader or Credit Card reader. They’re broken. Use the EVGo app instead. That way, you can see whats available in real time before arriving.
