Hello Everyone I finally made the jump and purchased my 5th but more importantly- road legal EV, a 2017 Chevrolet Volt! I purchased it used in another province 1200 km away as there are no incentives in my province of Nova Scotia. I couldn't buy it new but the used vehicles in Quebec reflect that incentive of over $8K. I am enjoying the vehicle much even though Nova Scotia is far behind in charging infrastructure. Charging stations are few and far between (our international airport has 1 station) but the worse I see is the ICE parking in those few EV spots. I consult at a place where they have an unbelievable amount of stations locally (3) but almost always they are filled with ICE vehicles! I actually was able to stop an ICE vehicle from taking the last spot one day - In a Canadian style argument, I simply asked if I he could move so I could park and charge. He graciously agreed and apologized, citing that he has only seen one EV ever park there. Unfortunately I can't have that argument if the owner isn't there. What can I do to change this? I have thought about printing off a few sheets and placing them on windshields with something like this:
WARNING Your vehicle is parked in a designated electric vehicle charging/parking location. Your license plate has been recorded. Further infractions against parking in this location with a non-electric vehicle may result in your vehicle being ticketed or towed. Regards Management Probably a little too drastic? I am trying to engage the building manager but have not reached them yet. I fear they may not hold any weight to my arguments anyway as policing parking spaces doesn't sound like high merit. Any other ideas?
