Can’t see it causing any issues, anyone looking to charge will have to wait..
The exact same argument can be made for disabled bays in supermarkets. If a douchebag with his deranged rover blocks one of two disabled spots, and he tells you “aight mate, just gonna pop in and out quick, if anyone lookin’ to park ‘ere, he’ll have to wait mate”, you’re okay with that?
You could argue that it’s morally wrong, sure. It’s entirely legal though, there’s no law preventing a douche canoe from parking his chelsea tractor in a (supermarket, not council owned, that’s different) disabled bay. Supermarket car parks are privately owned spaces, and a blue badge does not apply in privately owned spaces.
I know i get rather annoyed at people who needlessly park in disabled bays – even if there’s plenty of other bays free. If i had an EV, the same rule would apply.
Now i will say that my opinion on PHEVs in (fast) charging bays changed a bit. I still think it’s technically fine, but is probably not advisable. Now that we have a PHEV on order, i changed my mind on that and we’ll charge at available slow chargers (if it’s worth the hassle, if we just pop in for 10 minutes there’s no point anyway), but won’t block a fast charger that we can’t utilise anyway.
Btw, electric cars park too, so a P clearly circled by a charging cable might mean something different than just “park here”. The only person who can tell you whether or not you’d get a ticket there is Aldi though, it does need to be signed out visibly that non-EVs aren’t allowed to park there. Which is just flippin’ common sense, lets be real for a second now.
