I go to a place to charge my hybird car. The charging place shows on my swisscharge app means I am allowed to charge. I go few times every week.
Last evening I charged my car there as usual and left it there. After I back to the car, someone took off my cord and left a note at my window says" it's not a parking platz and thr street is private. If I do it again they will report me. "
This is not civilized at all. They can leave a note or talk to me. But not took off my charging.
Today i checked with police and also the swisscharge. They said it's public that I can use it.
So any opinion you could give me? Shouldni charge there again? Or any additional action I could do? I worry if I charge there again they will do sth to my car.
I parked my car there and charging. Why they took off my cord and said it's their private street? The fact confirmed by police that is not a private street and charge station is public. What's wrong?
My car won’t release the charge cable if the car is locked.
I suspect you have encountered someone who wants to charge their car and have been confronted by people that park and don’t charge, or park, plug in and don’t charge, or park and charge but don’t return to the car until long after the charging is done.
There is a huge Land Rover hybrid that I see parked at the Migros *all day at the charging place. I know it’s an electricity guzzler but it doesn’t need charging 10h a day every day.
*This is pure speculation on my part, but the monster is there just about every time I park there.
But, I guess if the car was already fully recharged and someone else tried to charge, that would make other people go mad.
I saw one acquaintance use the charging place as parking once while we had dinner. When we returned, the car was already at 100%. I asked if there was no trouble and he said that he had observed that those 4 chargers had low usage during nights. But other places are highly demanded and it's normal that people make a fuzz if the car is already charged and occupying the charger.
I agree but being mad still does not justify what he did. I tried to charge at Ikea and a nonelectric car blocked the charging station...of course it bugged me but the only civilized act is to report it.
Dear do u know there is charging station meed your ownncord? The side connecting to the power station can be unplug anytime. Just the side xonnecring to your car can't be unplugged.
OP, if I were in your position, I would: avoid using that particular charge point for at least the next few months, and select alternative charge points to charge the car be sure about how long it ordinarily takes to charge the car, and which factors influence this duration be disciplined about not leaving the car parked in any charge point for longer than it takes to charge accept that there is probably no way to find the person who left you the note, and also very little point in attempting to have them punished in any way try to get over this particular unpleasant episode as soon as possible, and then move on, and not spend much more time thinking about it.
You can leave a note for the next month under the windshield saying you checked with police and swisscharge. He will have read it and will stop. I'm curious why he thinks it is a private charging station, care to link the location on google maps?
If you have your own charging lead, then yes, they can be unplugged from the charger end of things, i believe, but most chargers have a cable attached with a type 2 plug on it.
Unlike Apple, Samsung and company, the car manufacturers have been
able to agree to just 1 type of plug for all electric or hybrid cars, type 2
