Supercharger Idle Fees too harsh IMO

I completely disagree, when your car is charged, move it. Period.

The system isn't perfect but it is waaaaay better than any other charging network out there and we need to be respectful of other people that need to charge. What if the station is less than half full and then 5 cars show up to charge? I live in Southern California and this is a regular occurrence. Station will go from empty to full in 5 min.

If the walk is too far and you anticipate a quick charge, go pick up your food before you get to the charging station.

We have 8 free charging stations at work, regularly 5 of the 8 have cars plugged in and not charging. Give people an inch and they will take a mile. I'm pushing very hard to implement idle fees at work. It is only respectful and you never know if others will show up that need to charge.

100% agree. Move your darned car.
