A reader writes: “I have a Tesla. I only take an EV parking spot when I want to charge. That’s the whole idea of the special sign.
“Today I was downtown, in the Baldwin lot. There are 10 or so spots reserved for EV owners to charge.
Baldwin parking lot sign.
“As I was setting up the charge for my car, a car with 4 women pulled in nearby, parked, and simply walked away.
“I don’t think their car was even electric. It was merely a great spot to park.
Not a charging vehicle.
“I was horrified. I was with my children, and told them I believe this woman was morally wrong for hogging a charging spot when she wasn’t even planning to use it.”
