The better way to drive when you drive your electric vehicle. A better way to power your EV is charging an electric vehicle. A vehicle with improved performance and environmental benefits can be the power combo packet for any electric vehicle driver/owner. But at the time of charging your electric vehicle, do you really think about other electric vehicle and electric vehicle owners? Let’s take a quick glance, are you on the right track of being courteous while charging your EV.
So, the first checklist is your car should only be parked at the designated charging space when they are actively charging. When the charge is complete, you must disconnect the vehicles quickly and move the cars from the designated space so that others could also get access to the charger. Sometimes you might have to pay for leaving a car in EV charging space when not actively charging. Be careful!
Do you track the time during charging your electric vehicle? Make sure you monitor the charging time so that it will help the next electric vehicle owner/driver to use the charger once you are done!
Ok! So, while charging you are using the connector but do you really put the connector back to the right place when you are done with charging your electric vehicle? If you put the connector back to the right place, it will not only prevent the charger from getting damaged, it will also help for further use as well. Most of the connectors and their functions get issues because of not keeping the connector at the right place.
Whoosh! This becomes really terrible when you keep your music high and charging space a big mess. It’s always advisable to keep the noise down and your space tidy. Trash the waste in the proper receptacles.
The most interesting stuff is here! Did you know that your car governs how quickly it can charge? Most EVs slow down the charging process once the car is charged to 80%, so once you hit 80%, consider moving to a nearby Level 2 charger if another car is waiting for the fast charger.
The way of charging your electric vehicle can determine the behavior you have and courtesy you can provide to other electric vehicle owners/drivers. Be courteous and avoid pulling off the cable from your neighbor’s car!
