For these new to electrical automobiles, ICE-ing means the malpractice of utilizing EV charging bays for parking your inner combustion engine (ICE for brief), thus blocking entry for these needing to cost.
The police case took a very humorous method to visualise the difficulty utilizing their helicopter, and the division added that they had been fortunate to seek out so many charging bays accessible.
That will even be on account of these being Tesla Superchargers. The corporate solely not too long ago enabled drivers of non-Tesla automobiles to cost at its hubs and, in fact, has not (but) included helicopters in stated opening up. (Maybe VTOLs can be subsequent?!)
What’s extra, Swabia, the place the police division is situated, being a area of Bavaria, is more likely to have drivers choosing automobiles made within the state, i.e. Porsche, BMW or Mercedes.
