With all these plug-ins selling the charging stations are getting crowed.
The spot I use was taken up by a Volt and a Prius when I went to charge. I did not "have to" charge, so I left it alone. I did feel that if I needed the charge, I would have unplugged the Prius as they can still get home. The Volt driver, surprised me as he had just plugged in and was walking away when I pulled up and I said hi to him. I did not realize that there was a Prius plugged in until I went to plug in. It was on the other side where it is not marked parking. If I had the Volt, I would have told me to use the plug and just plug me back in when you leave. I guess I am nicer then some.
I looked at the Prius, but I could not tell if was full or not, so I did not unplug it. I left my charge cover open, in case either of them came back they would plug me in. An hour later I came back to both cars still there and my car still not plugged in. I left and later that day, the Prius was gone, but the Volt was still there. I don't know how long it takes to charge either, but the Volt driver could have easily let me charge for an hour and he would have been fine.
I see very soon, if it has not already happened, a us VS. them. We need the charge and they can just use a charge. If we don't get more chargers out in the wild, we are going to have a lot of very unhappy EVers.
We need a post with a chart with all the different cars: Their system of charging Time / if it lights when finished / state of charge / This way we can remove a plug if almost compete or completed. Someone on the forum get on that!! ;-)
