Charging Etiquette
Today trying DC fast charge my EQS I noticed a car blocking the road into the chsrging area so i got out to verify what other chargers might be working. The only charger available if I back in is the one behind where this person did not pull her car into the parking spot to charge. I asked the perdon if they could pull into the designated parking spot so we both could chage but she refuse and an offered me "have a blessed day".

Buttholes with big trucks routinely park in the EV charging spots at my local Target. Granted the parking spots aren't marked EV-only but this song still applies:
It's free two hour charging while you shop so they're actually costing me money.

Memphis. It used to be a great town to visit. I lived there long enough to know I don’t want to live there.
The last time I was there with 2 other couples, as a weekend road trip. We decided to take a horse and buggy to Beale. We had to go through a park that was a mine field of homeless, homeless hovels, homeless sewage, panhandlers, and the accompanying rif raf, as if that wasn’t enough. It really took all the nostalgia, quaintness, and any potential romance right out of the experience.
As for charging, it hasn’t had a good start. It doesn’t look like the middle is any better. In the end, hopefully it gets where it needs to be.

We all encounter people like that all the time. Those people are either having a bad day, or they just haven't evolved to being fully human. 
However you treat animals, treat them the same way. Some bugs you kill, some you wave them away, and some you just simply ignore them.

On the bright side these are brand new 350kw EA chargers at a local Target parking lot. Can't wait for the activation.

Some Flying J truck stops now have GM branded chargers. There's one near me that looks like it'll come online soon. Nice thing is all four chargers appear to be 350 kW. Probably still takes an hour to charge a Hummer EV but anywho...
