That’s an unhelpful suggestion given they can’t have one, short of ripping ceilings down or surface trucking.
As I previously stated I’m after 13A suggestions.

I've read that the Tesla charging points/app will start charging you for 'idle time' if you leave a fully charged car connected. I think the app alerts you when fully charged and you get something like 10 mins grace before they start charging you. Seems like a good way to dissuade people from blocking public charging points.
Not unhelpful at all.
If it’s surface trunking or ceilings down, so be it.
They wanted to have the EV, they have made their bed now they have to lay in it.
If that means a proper charge point because they were lied to by the scammer car salesman so be it, their problem, not yours.
Can't see that being very popular, even if it is needed. I've just installed 2 charging pillars with 2 type 2 sockets each at a block of holiday flats which has 26 properties. Trouble is the parking spots we have used for the EVs are popular with residents who come on holiday with top boxes on their cars which prevents them getting through the under ground section of the car park to the large car park at the rear. So I can imagine some heated discussions will ensue...
Charging etiquette has to be seen to be believed at times. I was charging my i3 on a 50kW charger and a Merc pulled up demanding I move out and let him charge because his need was greater than mine. I would have normally stopped at 90% which is when th i3 charge rate reduces, because he's been so rude and aggressive I charged to 96%, made him wait 30 minutes longer.Can't see that being very popular, even if it is needed.

I do not own a Tesla ( son does though ) I find in cases similar to this by "the entitled" Tw@s in society a smack in the face with an artisanaly crafted brick is a great ice breaker
I was tempted but it was much more satisfying drinking my Costa watching the charging rate drop. the first time I walked up to the screen he pulled out of his parking slot because he thought I was going.... WRONGTypical self important Merc knob! I would have gone shopping as well
I must keep an eye out for one to keep in the frunk
i dont have an EV, but if i did and had the time, id be waiting until 100%
Aye it would be satisfying to do and worth the cost but I was in a bit of a hurry LOL

I suppose it's possible his need was greater then yours, perhaps he was rushing to see a dying relative etc, but I take your basic point and it's likely he was just a knob. But I wonder who will be the first victim of "charger rage" murder as we've already seen with "road rage"? Some people just can't chill out.
Just refuse the load?
Lol I had a bit of paper with all my Cal's on it lost now so thank you.
Reduce the load ,sorry using a real old mobile

Really. I would have thought slow charging would be better for the battery than fast.
"Correct, he cant use resistors to reduce the charge rate either which is my point"
How the heck would anyone think you could use resistors to change the amount of current something consumes??
john..

Like wise, but apparently not all the time. Most charge points are Type 2 at 7kW, so not the high speed charging rate.
Dunno, see reply #51
