I've noticed many more EV's on the road and this is great. There are also more cars at the charging stations--notably Grand Ronde, Monmouth, and Newport on the coast. I've found across the board that Leaf owners are polite and cooperative--one even chided me for not unplugging his car, pointing out that he parked in such a way to allow that. Next time, I'll know. I have run into people who use the stations, Monmouth in particular, as their personal charging station. They're not friendly about sharing. Today in Newport, a new Ford Fusion Energi was parked nearly between the two charging plugs. I had to park the Leaf sideways to get the cord to reach. He came back but quickly hurried away, maybe realizing his mistake. I said hello intending to talk about it, but he was not friendly. A few days ago I wanted to top the car off in Newport before heading to Corvallis. A Leaf was on the QC which I didn't want to use and an unattended plug-in Prius on the 200-level. I decided to drive on to Corvallis and not unplug the Prius. How do you folks handle these situations?
