This could work, but it would be extremely wasteful. Instead of one cable serving dozens of cars per day you'd have dozens of cables, one for each car, used only once that same day

Each driver carrying their own cable wouldn't have to worry about the quality of the cable on the charger.

If they were compatible with the charger they use at home, it wouldn't be nearly as wasteful as they'll need one there anyway

Pretty sure Europe does this already.
