Most charging friction is between drivers, not machines. A few habits keep a busy site moving.
- On a rapid charger, move once you have enough to reach your next stop, especially if people are waiting.
- Don't park in a charging bay unless you are charging.
- If a charger is broken, report it to the network and post it in Charging Issues, with the error.
- Coil the cable and hang it up, so it is not driven over.
- Be kind. The person ahead of you may be on their first trip.
