ICEd charging spots

As a diesel truck owner I would love to know, what is a diesel fraud coder?

Many veteran EV drivers have been campaigning for a long time to put charging parking spaces in those remote environments.
Many of the early EV charging spaces (from the 1990's and early 2000's) were in the cheapest place to install which usually means; right next to the building. One could pretty much count on there never being a space open since store owners are often loath to harshly apply penalties (towing, ticketing, etc) to what they perceive as the majority of their customers -- the non-EV drivers.
We understand how that makes EVs appear to be 2nd class, however, its a tradeoff. Would you prefer to walk a few extra feet or not be able to charge?
We'd remind the charging station providers that a charging station in a prime location is mostly a waste of their money since it would not attract EV drivers and it would annoy non-EV drivers.

Glad to see honesty here. It actually helps EV adaptation.

That's been my attempted approach from the beginning - even if folks sometimes don't want to hear it.
Fortunately, times have changed and, with so many EVs on the road, most people are aware of them. It may be worthwhile now to start focusing on putting public chargers closer to the electrical service to save money and enable more to be put in, without worrying as much about them also being prime parking spaces.

 

I usually see trucks icing. Tempting to write "big truck small dick" on them.

 

Too much air in their tires. A repeat offender needs a machine screw in a tread gap to let a little out.

So, if I stop at a DC charger while traveĺling, I normally have to then pull up to the gas pump afterwards to use their windshield squeegee (I have only seen the Moncton Petro Canada station where they realized EV windshields also get bugs spattered on them and put a windshield squeegee by the charger). On my last trip to the cottage, I needed to fill up a gas can for my mower, and so left my car at the Shell pump after filling 10 L to go in and pay and use the restroom.

When an EV blocks a gas pump, what is that called? Perhaps 'BEVing'? (Like 'beeving'?)

 

Killerwatted? Ohmless? Rotorized? Gaussed? Yeah Gaussed!

 

While at Costco, I was joking asked, "Here to show us up?"

Smiling back, "Lawn mower gas."

You guys have gas lawn mowers?

How quaint........

 

I really liked Bjorn Nyland's video of a new Circle K in Norway that caters to BEVs.. Little odd with the bucket idea for squeegees though...

 

Saw these, spaces are up front closest to doctors office building.

Hospital had no sign or anything painted on the ground. Very small on charging unit...

I bought a $10 squeegee and keep it in the car with an old towel. At charger I just squirt the windshield wiper squirter and clean the windshield with the squeegee and towel. Then but the squeegee and towel away ready for the next use. It always there when I need it. Really a simple solution.
