Agreed about the signage... but I think these Neanderthals would do it anyway. We need to get photos of the offenders every time it happens and document it. Using this kind of evidence, I'm hoping to get a state statute against this crap here in Wisconsin so that when we see it, we can call the police to enforce it. Until now, this deliberate blockage could only be referred to whatever entity owns the facility where the chargers are located, i.e. Tesla Supercharger sites in mall parking lots, which can be problematic in terms of enforcement. If it's after hours, getting in contact with whoever can do something isn't always possible. Not so with state statutes and actual police. -Tom Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -------- Original message --------From: brucedp5 via EV <[email protected]> Date: 1/20/19 2:10 PM (GMT+12:00) To: [email protected] Cc: brucedp5 <[email protected]> Subject: [EVDL] Petulant trucker-hat-wearing duo of dolts foolishly finger-gesture &shout !rump: chanting trucks ...

In addition to “rolling coal” on Teslas, Leafs, etc., these champions of the soon-to-be-extinct internal combustion engine are parking and blocking public EV chargers. I encountered a duo of dolts doing this recently as they parked their large Ford pickup at a well-marked EV charger on 300 South in Salt Lake City. “Electric vehicle parking only — must be charging,” the sign proclaimed. But the trucker-hat-wearing man-children decided they were going to, to, well, I’m not really sure what these fools were trying to accomplish by blocking an EV charger. Prevent cleaner air? Dudes, look around. The air quality in Salt Lake is horrendous, and you’re trying to make it worse? As the pair were leaving, I pointed out that they were parked at an EV spot. They shrugged their shoulders and made rude hand gestures. I made a finger gesture. The driver then rolled down his window, pumped his fist and shouted, “Go Trump!” Huh? Truckers, you benefit from people driving EVs. They produce less pollution. Stop blocking chargers and acting like petulant children. EVs are the future.
