It isn't though. It could be in other circumstances, yes, but in the case of these public charge points, it isn't.

Well my experience  is different. Maybe I have just been unlucky. I understand that more than 75% of chargers are home chargers. The limitations of home electricity supplies will be an issue but like you say they can be left overnight (unless you have 3 cars of course).

Home chargers I would agree with you, but that's not what's being discussed in this thread. Different circumstances altogether.

Considering the OP. A bit of thread drift. I am not the only guilty party.

Just a rumour at present but following the Porsche Taycan incident at the 33rd, a well known island insurance company has been forced to reconsider how it insurers EVs on the island.

The difficulty that has arisen concerns to disposal of the salvage, which mitigates the cost to the insurer. It's rumoured that the SPCo are unable to ship any vehicle with unstable electronics and damaged batteries? This has a knock on effect in that even repairable cars can not be shipped off island for specialist repairs. The battery forms a huge part of the chassis in most EVs and damage will make them unstable. 

It does beg the question of what will happen to the damaged Taycan, which was written off, and any subsequent badly damaged EVs? It's believed that the TT Zero machine which caught fire at the TT a few years ago has had to be buried somewhere, with all the leeching dangers which that entails.
