That said, people are probably not commuting long distances to get to the park-and-ride lots so I don't know how necessary EV charging at such lots would be.
A standard L2 charger is sufficient, as you say there is no need to put in a high speed charging station, but an L2 charger is not the same as an electrical outlet.
But you're right, it's probably unnecessary at an LRT park and ride station, but it would provide an EV incentive. I didn't think LRT really had park and ride facilities? Even I wouldn't bother with park and ride on the LRT, if I'm already in a car, I"m just going to drive to my destination, not unless parking in the core becomes much more expensive.
