    Why do EV drivers park in EV spaces and not charge?

    Why do people do this? I think they are just as bad as ICE drivers parking in EV spaces. I see it happen a lot in Austin TX (just moved here) where the EV parking and etiquette aren’t as good as California. I guess it will get better over time.
