More wheels than sense
What about motorbikes and scooters?

Them too , Labour thought about it a few years back but the tech wasn't feasible at the time .

That's the problem:
https://electrek.co/2022/12/13/tesl...ers-to-other-evs-is-creating-a-weird-problem/

Non Tesla EV parks in space B, but ends up using the supercharger that would normally be connected to a Tesla in space A. Space A is now useless to a Tesla owner, and the non Tesla EV is blocking two slots.

Not ideal, probably not a big problem overall.

Those who are prepared to pay Tesla supercharger rates, will hopefully have checked they can actually charge their vehicle with the short lead length

This mornings trip. Roads were mostly very quiet, just over an hour for the trip

10 miles but very early starts
So why would road pricing concern you?

I might need that one explained! How to get from peddling to trombone?

Ah, sorry, yes, a tad obscure. I read " Ars Technica " a science / medicine / technology online publication. It's refreshing in that most of the journalists also have Science degrees / PhD's etc. There was one article that was discussing EV's / range anxiety / battery technology etc. The articles comments sections are usually very well informed and the community is generous with their information if someone is getting the wrong end of the stick. There was a commenter in one discussion who was just nay saying every aspect of EV's and illustrated their unsuitability by saying that his job was repairing musical instruments and on one occasion he had an emergency call out which entailed a journey of several hundred miles to repair a Trombone. It was both ludicrous and funny at the same time and so became a bit of a " Meme "

A well work colleague had another run in at the charger point! Another Tesla driver taking up two bays to charge the vehicle ! Also hit with a £30 fine for being over time ! Charger wars !! Seems to be a PITA !

not being able to charge at “ their” chargers due to Joe Bloggs in his Nissan Leaf taking up the charging bay for example)
Petrol Ped had that issue in reverse when he was on a long journey in his EV. Rocked up at planned stop at a non Telsa charger to find it occupied by a Telsa - ! :angry:
