"The First Type: The Overly Friendly You know the type. The TikToker says, "The overly friendly, I want to be besties, let me know your whole life story. But we're literally just parked next to each other putting electricity in our cars. It's like the gas station. I don't talk to randos at the gas station. What makes you think I am going to chat you up here?""
"The Second Type: The Overtly Rude The second type of EV charger is the complete opposite of the first type: The drivers who are overtly rude and do not extend any level of courtesy to their fellow drivers. "They may be the nicest people in the real world, but you get them to a charging station and they lose their minds," Black Magnolia says of these drivers."
A new EV owner identifies two types of people at charging stations: overly friendly individuals who initiate extended personal conversations and overtly rude individuals who display no courtesy. The overly friendly behavior treats charging stations like social spaces and surprises other drivers who expect privacy. The overtly rude behavior can include invasive actions such as checking inside vehicles and monitoring how long cars remain plugged in. The EV owner expresses frustration with both behaviors, prefers a wall charger at home to avoid these encounters, and calls for clear etiquette guidance for public charging stations.
