    If they could do it off of regular 120/240v they should just add charging plugs to all street lamps and charge electric vehicles a tax for power usage wether it’s public or private based off milage which also covers wear and tear on roads like the gasoline taxes do.

      I’d be down for that. I’m sure it’d be called socialism though and we’d be stuck with the traditional gatekeepers. 🙄

        I’m really sad that the gatekeepers go around unplugging electric cars, instead of trying to cut the ccharging cables while charging.

        Cause that would very quickly be come a self correcting problem

          At my place of work we’ve got one charging station. There’s a guy who parks his truck there every morning (comes in way early for some reason). He could park anywhere, even more convenient spaces, but always chooses that spot…So if you want to charge, good luck.

            He literally sacrifices his morning, to come in super early, just to park his truck in the one charging station to fuck over someone with an EV.

            That is the tiniest dick energy I’ve ever seen, lol.

              If we’re giving him the benefit of the doubt, he comes in early because he can’t wait to get out of his house to escape his failing marriage and likes that spot because the sun is obstructed just so that his truck stays shadier than it would otherwise.

              This would seem reasonable if it wasn’t a parking garage. I hate to say it, but knowing him as I do I would swear on religious literature that it’s on purpose.
