Comment on Is charging electric car at holiday house "theft"?
Polar@lemmy.ca 1 year agoThat’s not the same, because fuel stations exist. You’re expected to refuel at a fuel station, which can also be done nearly instantly. You do not leave your car.
An electric car is expected to be charged at home. You can charge them at work, or during a pit stop, but you CANNOT leave them at public charging places, and public charging varies a ton depending on location.
If there was a close by public charge station with overnight charging, sure, but there’s not, and it’s unreasonable for someone to expect a visitor to come and not recharge their car.
Are they supposed to wake up in the morning, drive to a public charger, and then sit there for 2 hours in the morning? No. No one does that. They drive home and charge over night if they’re able to make it home.

There are quite a few public charging points in the UK
