The charger is at the other end of the carpark to the shops. They are making a statement.

The statement is an unflattering self-assessment.

Is that the new Tesla Model 2? Looks like a nice compact practical hatch back!

That's a good way to get your car towed or a fine.

Parked in an EV-only space? Victoria to charge non-EV offenders up to $330 - EV Central

Parking your internal combustion engine car in an EV-only charge space is not only selfish, but the Victorian Government can, from today, slug offenders with a fine up to $330.

Or it could be aspiration… they really want to buy an EV one day and just wanted to vicariously get a taste of the experience by parking in a Supercharger spot. A bit like the forbidden fruit!

Just another angry ICE trying to make a last stand. Not sure about other tesla owners, but geez does mine attract VERY angry/aggressive v8 commodore owners.

That carpark is rarely if ever full, particularly at that end.

A FaceBook post from yesterday at the Supercharger Mornington:

I have noted this issue in other posts but this supercharger, like quite a few others, is on private property (Home Co) so neither the local council nor VicRoads has jurisdiction over it. I have written this morning to the management team at Home Co requesting their advice as to what can - or should - be done when members of the public are confronted with this selfish sort of behaviour.

Linking to Youtube via Facebook. Almost as bad as the driver blocking the chargers.

Home Co can make a private parking agreement with the council if they want, and the council is amenable. It allows the council to enforce parking restrictions in the agreed area.

It’s a big carpark, with plenty of spaces usually even if you are towing. I often park there with a trailer. Someone is just being an a$$ for the sake of it.

P plater and Ute. pretty obvious prob on there socials about how cool they are.
Since I ordered my Tesla I heard all the newscorp crap from mates about EV's
pretty bad

So if this owner gets fined, is it $330 for blocking an EV charger of $1,980 for blocking 6 EV chargers?

Obvious solution is to unhitch his boat and let it roll off to wherever it lands.

I received a response from Home Co management today:

"Thank you for reaching out to us and bringing this matter to our attention. Your efforts are appreciated in keeping our community safe and shopping center safe.
To address the issue in the future, we suggest contacting the Homeco Shopping Centre at 1300994663, which is available 24/7. We will take the necessary steps to resolve the matter promptly."

Seems to be the most sensible approach.
