We all know it sucks to show up and not be able to use a station you saw on the map. My recent A2Z adapter use started to get me thinking of ways to minimize the stress of an incompatible location. Here are my thoughts. Please add ideas and I'll see if I can add to the list as we go.
Options 3, 4, 5 work for this picture.
- Some newer V3 Tesla stations have centered dispensers and you can use them normally.
- V4 stations have longer cables and can be used normally.
- Park on the far side (opposite) of the station if there is space. This will confuse people thinking it is an available stall. See picture
- Locate in the right most station and park one extra (non EV) space to the right. This will confuse people thinking it is an available stall. See next option instead to decrease confusion.
- Locate a station with some room and park centered with the dispenser. The cables are 6.5' and a Rivian is 6.6' wide. You might only encroach a couple of feet into the next stall leaving it still usable if everyone parks over the lines a bit.
- Park to the right of another CCS car if they are blocking a dispenser for Teslas. You will be able to use the one they didn't.
- Same goes for the left side if no one is using the next dispenser. This will confuse people thinking there is an available stall to your left.
- Parallel (or diagonal) park at the leftmost stall utilizing a non charging stall to the left as well. See pic from Aardvark below.
