Charging station full

[snoltor]

All ten charging stations full this morning. 2 Ravs, a Focus and a bunch of Leafs and Volts. Increased competition for the charging stations at work but that's a good thing!

Nice to see all those EVs in use. And, snoltor, nice to see you don't have to back the RAV in to charge it (unlike the Tesla in saintyohann's pic).

Yeah, the charging cord is just long enough for us.

With all those EV's using chargers I'd be interested to know what kind of informal policies have developed for their use? Is it expected that the morning people move their cars at lunch time to allow others to charge up during the afternoon? Or do people occupy the spots all day long even though actual charging time may only be 3-4 hours?

Thats a concern of mine - it seems that regular commuters have "their" spots, and many tend to leave their vehicle plugged in all day (this is strictly an observation of the very few public or free stations I've found locally). As much as I'd like to use my Rav for informal longer distance driving, my range anxiety is expressing itself more as EVSE availability anxiety - except for some of the Chargepoint stations, which at .49/kw, definitely make EVs a much less attractive alternative.
