Supercharger Etiquette for Newbies

[Mr Miserable]

With the enormous number of Model 3s about to be unleashed on to the UK roads over the coming weeks, I thought it timely to remind everyone of the etiquette surrounding the use of superchargers.
There is a strict pecking order.
If the site is busy and all the stalls are full, if you have a 69 or 20 plate you must immediately unplug to allow a 19 plate in.
Once the 19 plate has had his fill, you may then return to complete your charge.
Simples.

Any particular 19 plate?

Thought so ...

Anyone with a pretentious private plate should be looked upon with scorn and directed to the Ecotricity charger, unless it’s a rickety old Model S 75, and therefore should be given priority as it doesn’t go as far or charge as fast.

If the site is busy or all the stalls are full, drape yourself over the bonnet of a random owner’s vehicle with a sign saying “paint me like one of your french girls”, that may open up a charging spot .....

ahh here we go, knew this day would come

'rummages for fake 19 plates and velcro'

Not at a supercharger but didn't warrant creating another post...

If you're at a free public charger with only a single CCS cable available, please return to your car shortly after charging completes.

I spent 90 mins today charging with a type 2 awaiting your return which rather hampered the family day out.

Thank you.

Does that mean 70 plates don’t have to move aside?

 

[NewbieT]

70 plates are only allowed to use ‘A’ labelled pillars.

If the site is busy and all the stalls are full, if you have a 69, 70 or 20 plate you must immediately unplug to allow a 19 plate in.
Once the 19 plate has had his fill, you may then return to complete your charge.

Repeating yourself in your old age?

Repeating yourself in your old age?

No. Just keeping it updated - I have added the 70 plate.
