The Mitsubishi MiEV driver chooses not to pay for parking nor charge up
the vehicle, displacing other EV drivers who might legitimately need
that EV charging space. |
I am elitist. Just kidding. Driving the Leaf has forced me to plan things more carefully and effectively. So today I write my rant about how other people's in-considerations can possibly ruin your day or your plan. This is nothing new but pertaining to driving an Electric Vehicle or EV, all drivers(
EV drivers included) need to have a conscience about how they can displace EV drivers who need to
legitimately charge up their cars.

A Chevy Cobalt occupying a
charging station. I almost put a
note on the car but instead called
the property owners. The person
received a ticket. |
On my days off from work, I charge one block from my home after I drop my kid off to school. I take that opportunity to charge up so I can make another round trip to pick her up and make my way back home again. She goes to school in another town. If there is another vehicle parked where I need to charge that is
non-electric or an EV just using that space to park but not charge to get a
free parking pass, I'm going to nip it the bud by calling the property owners.
You will receive a parking ticket.

The charging stations are there for a reason. The company that put those stations there, installed the chargers to make money. EV drivers are supposed to use these stations to power up obviously. It would never occur to me to park at a gas station pump with my Leaf displacing people who need to get gas while I go eat an AM/PM Hamburger for 3 hours so
KNOCK THAT CRAP OFF!
