While the owners of electric cars may care about climate change, they appear to be less solicitous of their fellow ecologically-motivated motorists.
Angry notes have been left on windscreens and drivers have returned to their cars to find that they have been unplugged.

Maybe some kind of super-conductor capacitor with a way of modulating the discharge? It will happen eventually. Resistance is futile.

Electric Car Dudz:
Mench up and supply your own energy.
Live close enough to work to came and go on a single charge.
Pedal a generator bike all day at your desk to charge your own car.
Buncha winers. and briers.

Electrical power theft is sure to follow. Look for a run on extension cords.

From the article:
“I don’t think you should be able to reserve spots. it should be based on how close you are, your level of power, basically your level of need,” said one motorist on Twitter.
In case there was ANY doubt about the political leanings of these folks.
