Plug-In Parking Abuse Hall of Shame: Post Pic's Here

As much as Disney and the other parks charge, they should fill your battery and/or your tank as a courtesy.

 

You are saying you want additional charge from them?

 

Well, if they're going to overcharge my wallet, they can at least charge my car to capacity while they're at it. Well, actually, they won't overcharge my wallet because I refuse to go there. Haven't been there since the 90s.

 

Here in California, if you leave a car unattended on the side of the freeway (most often because it broke down), the CHP will put a road-hazard orange sticker on it warning you that it will be towed if not moved in a certain amount of time. They are all but impossible to remove. You have to scrape the remnants off and/or use something like Goo Gone. I wonder if you could get blank ones and write, "this space was meant for charging only" on it and slap it on one of the car's windows.

 

Michigan 4/17/2018
City Of Grand Rapids Van - Ice'd out others to park at a charging station. Non Electric. ChargePoint Station Blocked.

 

Wow! Well, at least you know who to call and complain to.

 

Not since the early 80s for me.....

I'd try a polite note first.
I would not use a sticker!

It's early days for the EV community.
They still have a chance to improve their branding.....

 

The sticker is the kind of thing I’d think about but probably never do. Charging about town isn’t a big issue for me with the Prime. I’ll only do it if it’s free, and if I can’t, it’s not a big deal. You just hate to see people abuse the system.

 

Definitely NOT an electric car

WOW!! I wonder if the cord is long enough to park him in while you charge.

 

Been here about an hour and a half, still no sign of the owner, only one customer in McDonald's and he just sat down to eat so probably not the owner of the ICE car

The guy works there and so he's entitled to park there he said, so I asked him what part of electric vehicles do you not understand? He said he will talk to his supervisor, he also asked if I took a picture of his license plate and I said yes so he started taking pictures of my plate lol

Sounds like it's time to involve the guy's boss if you want to invest the time and effort needed to get the situation fixed.

 

That's the whole problem in a nutshell. Everyone feels entitled to do what the heck they want now.

 

That sign says it is electric car parking only when charging. Since he was not charging, the sign does not apply to them.

English language fail!

 

Makes me glad I drive a tiny plug in vehicle. I’ve had a corolla parked many times in a charging space I use on my way home. On more than one occasion I’ve backed up to where I was almost touching the corolla (which was pulled all the way to the front curb) and plugged in. I only stuck out a few extra inches from the parking spot.
