I bet on a two spot destination charger on a trip and when I got there both had Teslas using them. When I came out 12 hours later Tesla’s still there. 24 hours later still there. 36 hours later, still there! I ended up going on PlugShare and a really friendly local Tesla owner let me charge at his house. He even drove me to and from the hotel.
I put notes on both cars’ windshields with my phone number to please call me as I needed a charge and was out of range of any Supercharger. 1 guy texted me a day later and the second person never contacted me.
Now, non-Tesla EV owners have figured out how to use destination chargers (but not superchargers) with an adapter they can buy online. So it will just get worse.
At work every day, EV owners plug in in the morning and don’t move their car all day until 5 pm. They don’t take their cars out of the spot after they’re charged up. Essentially using it as their private parking spaces. I spoke to one of them and he became belligerent so I dropped it.
Curious if it's better etiquette to park in the spot adjacent to the supercharger slot, stretch/pull the charger cord tight, and leave a sign on your charger port that you're doing convenience charging and they're free to steal the charger back?
