Was he charging? I see that he did a really crumy job of parking.Levenkay said:This was the scene at the Tigard Fred Meyer DCFC this morning as I stopped in to try and compensate for another of my home Blink unit's failures to charge.
Bad enough that the DCFC (if/when it works) is ICEd; now there's danger of it being hogged, too
Agreed. My instantaneous reaction to seeing someone parked like this is to hear the memory of my dad's voice in similar situations saying disgustedly "Where'd you get your license, out of a Sear's Roebuck catalog?" (Dad was a truck driver and had zero respect for sloppy driving and parking). But having been forced by others to park 'badly', I try to hold back my snort of derision when I see this.Nubo said:Sometimes you've got to give the benefit of the doubt.

That Leaf has Arizona license plates, so I'm pretty sure it is a ECOtality testing/service vehicle for the DCQC stations here in Oregon. That station has had a lot of issues lately, so it wouldn't surprise me if they were working on it.Levenkay said:This was the scene at the Tigard Fred Meyer DCFC this morning as I stopped in to try and compensate for another of my home Blink unit's failures to charge.

Good point. I thought of that too, after I posted. And no, I didn't leave a note. Didn't even get out of my car; I was on the way to work, and didn't absolutely have to take on more energy. If it'd been available, I'd have plugged in long enough to buy a bag of crackers and an apple or something, but as it was, I just took a clumsy phone pic through the windshield and drove on.Nubo said:Sometimes you've got to give the benefit of the doubt.
