One of the things that most annoys electric vehicle users is finding a combustion car occupying a space. space reserved for charging electric cars.
In Spain, you can be fined for parking at a charging point for electric cars. Beyond the possible sanction, it is uncivil behavior, especially if the car with which you occupy that space is a Ferrari from 20 years ago with a V8 engine and you ‘plug’ it into the tire.
Without hesitation, he ‘connects’ the charger to the tire of his Ferrari
One of the main drawbacks of the electric car is that the charging infrastructure is still scarce, so charging it outside the home is complicated. The worst of all is that it is not easy to use the few charging points that there are: either they are broken, or they do not yet have the permits to be used, or they are busy.
In the latter case, if there is another electric car charging, it is what it is; The problem comes when the vehicle that occupies the space reserved for charging an electric vehicle is a conventional combustion model.
There are times when this situation can occur due to ignorance or confusion, but when the owner of the electric car ‘connects’ the charger plug to the wheel of his gasoline car, it is clearly not an oversight, rather it is throw a lot of nose at it. Above all, if the car that parks in the space reserved for charging electric vehicles is a 20-year-old Ferrari with a V8 engine.
There are people who work a little harder and make an adapter to park their gasoline car in a space reserved for electric vehicles and make it look like it is recharging, but the owner of this Ferrari has directly ‘connected’ the plug to the charging point. burden to one of the rear tires of your car.
Kainourgios Anthropos, owner of an electric car, saw it, took photos and posted them in a Facebook group called ‘Electric mobility in Greece’. Apparently, in that publication it is common for electric vehicle users to post photos of cars that are not plug-in and occupy spaces reserved for charging electric vehicles.

“An electric Ferrari that charges on the rim also came out! Consider that the rest of us think it’s electric!!! What is there to say. Write what you think. I should say that there were many free parking spaces, in fact, I parked my electric car in a normal space because I didn’t need to charge it. What I don’t understand is why this person put his car there when he could have parked it in a normal spot,” Kainourgios said in the Facebook post.
If it had been a Ferrari 296 GTB or a Ferrari SF90, it would have been strange to see it charging at a public charging point in what looks like a McDonald’s parking lot, but those two Ferrari models are plug-in hybrids and have the right to use these reserved spaces to charge electric vehicles. Instead, the Ferrari F430 in the photo, launched 20 years ago and with a huge V8 engine that can be seen through the glass that covers it at the back, does not work.

In the same Facebook group you can find a few more examples like this, some not so shamelessand others at the level of the owner who left his Ferrari there, like a excavator occupying one of these spaces and preventing a plug-in car from being able to use the charger.
In any case, you don’t need to see the photos in this Facebook group, in Spain, just go to the parking lot of a shopping center that has spaces reserved for charging electric cars, like a Mercadona. It is common to find conventional combustion cars occupying these seats, logically, without loading.
