How should we deal with ICE-ing Superchargers? For those who don’t understand, ICE-ing a Supercharger means that someone in a non-Tesla vehicle (a vehicle with an internal combustion engine, or ICE) is parking in the spot where the Tesla parks to supercharge the vehicle. This is the same thing as parking at a pump at a gas station but not using that pump. unfortunately, some people do this to Tesla Superchargers on purpose.

The much anticipated COP25 came to a close last Sunday with a lack of cohesive action. Despite the release of 2018 statistics revealing global warming is still on the up, the biggest polluting nations failed to present their planned increased efforts to stem climate change. While a compromise was reached on smaller elements, the anticipated updated plans of the biggest nations like China, India, and the US, was pushed back to next year’s COP26 in Glasgow, as was the decision around a global carbon market.
Off the top of my head I could easily nominate VW, Hyundai, Kia, Peugeot, and maybe Ford among the automakers actually trying to meet the challenge (there are more but that is a whole other topic). However, besides Tesla, when it comes to actual implementation in 2019, none is further along than Kia with 2 serious EV models, the e-Niro and the e-Soul.
