Yeah, most of the expected etiquette about DC charging doesn't really make sense when applied to AC charging.

If someone is slow charging while at a restaurant or movie (say, parked for 3 hours) they shouldn't be expected to come out and move at the 2hr 30m mark. (But similarly if they know they'll be full within an hour, they probably didn't need to use the charger anyway).

To use your example - if someone uses the same park and ride every day, then no problem with, once a week, plugging in on arrival, staying for 8 hours, even if charging takes 6 hours. But conversely, don't plug in every day if you're only charging for the first ~1.5 hours.

And hotels - treat them like your home charger. I got into a heated discussion on reddit with some guy who said that if you use an AC charger at a hotel, and the charge finishes at (e.g.) 2am, you should have to move your car then.

The Seaford charger here is a rare commodity, and rarer that it’s actually working.
Next to it is a type2 charger which is not billed, everytime I go past it during the week, and sometimes on Saturdays the same car is parked there, plugged in, no one in sight. I’ve gone past in the morning and afternoon. Obviously works at the shopping centre and knows there is no idle fee.its behaviour like that which attracts complaints, then expedites the billing charges and mess it up for everyone.

No visit to ikea is complete without pretending to use the toilets in the little room displays too.

Today's app update adds support for seeing how long ago a charging session started (both AC and DC), but for DC also shows the state of charge for the car plugged in.

Thanks for sharing and hope this encourages or shames people into not hogging chargers needlessly!

hogging chargers needlessly

There were 3 last night at 8pm at the Macquarie University West 3 car park Ocular chargers with 100% charge still connected with no driver to be found
They are free after 5pm which partially explains why

This one of the chargers at the Uni near me.
I went and had a look and it's not an error.

I assume LaTrobe.
They have a market on Sunday where one EV charger is surrounded by food trucks etc.
I have seen the same MY locked in by the market a few times.

Meaning it's there regardless of getting blocked in

If the Netflix series “3 body problem” taught me anything when scientists go missing for extended period of time, no good comes of it…

Scientists in Australia live below the poverty line. The politicians see to it. They don't own Teslas.

It's not - https://www.toyota.com.au/electrified/hydrogen-electric/stations - nor is the hydrogen station on Chargefox.

Pennant Hills Toyota has a 50kW Tritium. I always see Beemers charging there likely related to their free 5 year ChargeFox DCFC subscription

A worthy attempt, but it's no Albury Waste Management Centre.
