ICED - Images of Offending Vehicles Board of Shame

[charge]

The ev charger where I worked was iced. Boy, I'm tired of winter

Were you able to de-ice that and actually use it?

No. That section of the parking lot was blocked off due to dangerous conditions

That is awesome!! Thanks for sharing. Boy I sure don't miss the ice and snow.

Some people really do have a large part of their self-identity invested in this molecule:

[octane]

Funnily enough, FWIW, the 'octane' rating of gasoline is actually the amount of octane there isn't in it, or rather how much isooctane there is in it.

You got me there. I dropped out of Organic Chemistry right about the same time I realized I liked playing with computers better than chemicals. I still have the book though. It makes a great doorstop

The funny thing about the octane rating is that it rates how explosive gasoline *isn't*. All those ads implying more powerful explosions are only partially true.

Not much of a board of shame if you are going to blot out their license plate.

Fair enough, here's another icing of the same spot. The rub is that the SUV was ticketed. This was a first for me (the local mall leaves a note asking people not to ICE, but there's no fine) so I took the liberty of examining the citation. Unfortunately, it was for not having paid to park. At least now I can contact management with evidence that parking agents ignore icing, even when it's right under their nose.

The sign about the space being reserved for charging is very clear. However, people don't seem to read it. Would it be better if it were in red, or displayed the universal no-parking symbol?

Did you check to see if they were employees' cars? Chilis lets employees park in the EV spaces. They are willing to move them, but probably count on many EV drivers not bothering to ask.

Triple whammy. How frustrating! There is no way 3 separate drivers do not notice where they parked.

One of these boxes, an extension cord or suitable length (and gauge), and an evseupgrade.com modded portable EVSE, and you really wouldn't care. Plus you could EV the Icehole by parking directly behind him!

For humorous consideration only of course. IRL, there's a real chance that anyone who's parked in an EV charging spot already has a chip on their shoulder and may be more than willing to escalate.

I strongly suspect that having one driver ICE an EV spot encourages others to do so as well. They figure, "He did it. It must be OK."

Yesterday, I visited a magnificent new building which has applied for LEED Gold Certification.

Then, I saw a less interesting car certified "LEER."

When I see that someone has ICED a space, I leave them this notice.

"When you block an electric vehicle from charging, it makes my dog very nervous."

Iced at the (Nashville) Parthenon. Only 2 of the 4 spaces were blocked.

I think we can rule out blindness. After all they managed to drive there.

Which leaves stupidity and or arrogance.

I just learned of iceshaming.tumblr.com from a Volt driver on Priuschat. I know he had a Gen 2 Prius, but don't know about now.
