Public Electric Car Charger - SIU

My son will go to SIU for fall semester. We were not planning to give him a car, but after open house visit, we were thinking of getting him a car while dorming, either EV or ICE.

I understand there are public chargers available in two SIU's lots, how busy and reliable are these chargers in daily basis? Any other public charger available in the area as alternative?
