Citizen complaint of the day: The people in college who used to take your laundry out early are now doing the same thing with EV chargers

By adamg on Sat, 03/30/2024 - 12:53pm

An irate citizen with an EV filed a 311 complaint this morning about somebody else with an EV who prematurely unplugged the irate citizen's EV from a charger in the municipal lot behind Centre Street in JP - despite only having been plugged in for an hour.

This is a problem with some public chargers, and something that will come into play far more than running out of gas.

I have a plug-in hybrid.
The charge port has a lock if you choose to engage it.
I charge in my own garage, so I never use it.
If I had to charge in a public lot, I would certainly use it.
As well, I would try to be respectful of others and move out of the spot asap.

I have a full electric and keep the lock feature on because if I'm charging at home, it unlocks when it's finished. So that way I never have to remember to turn it on.

Over the fact that in the year 2024, there are still people who don't know how to spend 30 seconds with Google before posting online and looking stupid.

The chargers aren't free: They cost 25 cents a kwh and there's a $1/hr fee if your car is still sitting there even if it's been topped off.

Simply parking in a municipal lot in Boston is free regardless of the type of vehicle you have, so go ahead, knock yourself out, rumble down to a city lot in your F-350 and park for free!

Needless to say, the lot in question is a municipal lot.
