Went past the charging bays at Westfield parramatta today. They had movable signs saying something like ‘please replace this when you have finished charging’. I guess most of the ice drivers can’t be bothered to get out and move so they can park in a spot obviously not intended for them.
This comment deserves a +1To be fair does that have any actual signage? or just the green plug looking thing.
You should be vigilante and laminate electric vehicle parking only while charging, tow-away zone.
I bet you no one from management or staff would notice, and it would definitely scare away the morons.
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by ignorance !4 flat tyres might educate them. lol no, but there is a certain “FU” attitude that some people have to EV charging stations. It’s not like we park in front of petrol pumps.

Most people will not have the concept that it is a place needed to recharge. They will see it like another disabled spot that they can take if they can't find a more convenient space.
Education is necessary. We should not escalate, or we may end up like the US and get people keying our cars or worse.
By being early adopters of EVs we're trying to change the world for the better .. aren't we?
I have been told by a member of the Queensland constabulary that there is an offense they can book for that simply states "parking in contravention of signage" regardless of who owns the sign. That would be a good start.I think leaving a sign on someone's vehicle will lead to trouble.
Parking is local gov responsibility. Just need to have Icer's receiving a warning & / or ticket. That's a language most people understand.
At some point their should be a National ad campaign to inform people as the shift to EV's grows.
I didn't know a Type2/Type2 cable could extend an HPWC! That's great to know. I've been caught a few times arriving late at a motel with the DC iced.I carry with me a Type 2 to Type 2 extension.
If safe and not blocking passing traffic, park in front of the ICEr and use the extension to reach the HPWC.
Leave a note saying "Sorry I parked in front but am on 0% battery - need to charge. Please call me on ..... and I'll move my car."
Then wait for the call and use the conversation to educate .. "how would you feel if i parked in front of the petrol bowser?"
Yep. No point upsetting people and causing rebound cranky.Education is necessary. We should not escalate, or we may end up like the US and get people keying our cars or worse.

The Type 2 extension and the Type 2 to Type 2 are different cables.I didn't know a Type2/Type2 cable could extend an HPWC! That's great to know. I've been caught a few times arriving late at a motel with the DC iced.
