I agree, but mostly because they added the site to AFDC so long ago and nothing yet. Although, I have seen several other similar cases as well.
That said, it also could be that Circle K has better project management than EA (who may be taking more of a shotgun approach). By that I mean that Circle K may have lined up their delivery of equipment to the site with the availability of the transformer and utility connection. No sense in committing equipment to a site where they will sit for months on end. EA, on the other hand, was probably in a rush to spend money on equipment and didn't bother trying to align schedules. Better to meet some self-imposed milestone of having a certain number of stations in place (whether operational or not) than to actually have things working! Just speculation of course with a bit of cynicism mixed in.
