Charging
Posted: Thu 6 March, 2014 Filed under: 1BEM, Cynicism, Domestic, Driving, Green, People, Thoughts 2 Comments »On my walks round Milton Keynes, I regularly see electric cars plugged into the provided charging points. Just left there, charging.
Now, is it really childish that every time I see one, I want to either
- Unplug the car and/or
- Move/hide the charging cable/block completely ?
Actually, I know it’s really childish – it’s just I get annoyed by the palpable smugness of these ‘eco’ ballbags who think they’re ‘saving the planet’ by leaving their shitty electric cars plugged in for hours to an inefficient method of energy generation/accumulation…
I totally agree with your last para. And don’t get me started on the non-greenness/inefficient power generation of hybrid cars…
I’ve never seen any charging points. Are they free to use?
I believe so – but I haven’t looked in that much detail. Maybe next time I’m walking round, I’ll look.
