I’m a new EV owner and have a charging etiquette question for a long trip we are going to take next summer. We live in rural WV and luckily the small regional airport here has 12 charging stations in the one parking garage on site. They are free to use while parking in the garage. I’d like to park and charge here while we are away on our trip but I’m not sure if this is polite. Plugshare says they are pretty slow stations and better for charging while you are away traveling. Just as extra info, there is no valet here that could move my vehicle after it is charged so it will be there until I get back from our trip. And yes I do need to charge to make it the next destination after our flight lands. What are your thoughts? I don’t see an option other than leaving the vehicle here while away flying but is it polite to do so?
My hope would be that the chargers are spaced out with long cords to allow people to unplug fully charged cars to plug in other spaces.
My understanding is that it’s one plug per spot and not spaced so that two spots could utilize one plug. That would have been a good solution for maximizing use of one station though.
