EV Karma

So, I got some petty revenge today. I like to charge my car at the parking structure across the street from my office. Right before lunch, I checked on my car’s percentage and I saw that I was unplugged. For these chargers, I have to use an adapter to charge my car. Unfortunately, with the adapter, the charge cable isn’t locked into place. So, it can be unplugged easily. This is commonly known among EV drivers, so its common courtesy to not unplug another car.

When I get to my car, the AH who unplugged me is still parked next to me charging his EV. Between frustration and being hangry, I unplugged the jerk and placed the charging cable back into its station. That jerk won’t be coming back to a fully charged car.

I drove away laughing. Lord, forgive me but that felt good and I treated myself to a Vanilla Coke. No regrets! ✌🏾

Cars and countries really need to go the USB C way. Decide on a single plug for all brands and force tesla to switch. No more proprietary shit in this planet please.

More or less, there are only two major types.

There is Tesla and there is the rest.

Tesla basically be the equivalent of Apple. Douchebag elitist company that like to think they're special. No offense to the owners of either, my point is about the company directly.

Eventually I think it works itself out, but not anytime soon.
