That didn’t take long
Brand new grocery store in my neighborhood with free underground customer parking and two EV chargers. Both ICEd already.

This certainly took some effort! Honestly... Doing this should have to hurt. Not kill... Just hurt.
So homeboy in the Rivian obviously is trying to charge with the trailer attached.
Homegirl in the Cadillac parks in the handicap stall at an angle so she can reach the short Tesla charger cable.
Then another homeboy decides to park in the other handicap stall effectively blocking in the guy in the Rivian from easily being able to move.
Both the Cadillac and the other Tesla in the handicap spots did not have handicap tags.
All this when they’re probably about eight other Tesla chargers open on the left side.
this honestly grinds my gears!! if you wanna park in an EV spot, it’s very simple what you need to do: BUY A FUCKING EV. thanks to these two idiots i wasn’t able to charge my car at this particular car park. bear in mind these were the only two EV spots in a car park with more than enough spaces for ICE vehicles. inconsiderate, selfish people smh
Two spaces, both for electric cars (preferred). Broad Marsh car park, Nottingham.
I’m pulling a trailer today and there’s eight spots available but the trailer pull through spot is taken by someone that’s not hauling anything.
I pulled in behind them and sat for a couple minutes to see if they were going to move. It seemed like they were looking through their rearview mirror, but they never got out.
I got out to talk to them, and when they roll down their window, it was very much clear that I was bothering them. When I asked if they wouldn’t mind pulling into one of the other spots so I could use the trailer charger. They were very upset and asked if they could just finish and I was like this is the only spot I can get to and she just rolled up her window. A few minutes later she moved and when I tried to thank her, she said she was gonna leave anyway, and so she didn’t finish charging anywhere.
Was I wrong to ask her to move?
This is probably bothering me more than it should.
Tesla owners don’t get mad with other EV owners who have to park at weird angles because you use the one that would allow for straight forward charging.
TizzyEnt got some charger drama going on today! https://youtu.be/0yfNMTN5Ygc Small warning for language!
A few manufacturers are now promising bidirectional capability across more models this year, and some utilities are starting to roll out programs that let your EV power the house during outages or even earn a bit back from the grid.
For homeowners with solar and the right electrical setup, it might reduce some stress around outages or peak rates. But for renters, apartment dwellers, does bidirectional charging actually make sense?
Should there be more push for this technology at the moment? Is this something you would consider before getting an EV?
Heads up for anyone using EVgo, there’s a spring promo for a $5 charging credit. Code is CHARGEINTOSPRING and can be redeemed in the app.
Bald werden die Ladesäulen an der Autobahn knapp. :-)
