    It’s up to the state to figure out details like that.

    If a state does install a charger, they might pass a local law that makes it illegal for commercial chargers to operate nearby - which would ensure the state charger is used an therefore doesn’t cost tax payers any money (because a good charger with no competition will run at a profit).

    I’m not saying states will do that, but they have the option. The only thing that matters is that there is a charger available, and at competitive prices.
