There is a dealer on Cape Cod ICE ALL 3 chargers in the front of his dealership.
I emailed the manager today about it and how I was told that they would be open/accessible/and not ICED.
Here is my email
"Good day. I am writing you about your EV chargers.
I have emailed in the past about being able to use the chargers and asked if they would be blocked by other Dealer vehicles. I was told that they would not be blocked at any time of day, that they were all working and anyone can use them. That is NOT the case when I went by Last night (Sunday 6-21-15) and NEEDED desperately to charge.
My Father is elderly and lives on the Cape. In order for me to get to him to take care of him I need to charge at your station.
I plotted my route very carefully and was very disappointed that your chargers were all blocked by ICE vehicles .. not even other Leaf's !! I almost needed to be towed
Is this the way it always is ? I have gone by before in someone's car and noticed it was blocked then too.
I am trying to find out how EV friendly you are at this dealership.
Thank you for letting me vent"
his response ..... "There is a charger to the rear of the building… always able to use."
That's it, no apology, not that I thought I would get one.
Doesn't sound like they are too EV friendly
FYI, I was not in my EV, I was in my F-350 because I have not made the journey down yet... because of chargers like this being blocked
edit : L2 charger .. just needed a little jump to make sure i had enough juice
