Here is another problem with EVs. Some people have no charging etiquette. To the right of my car there is 2 empty Tesla chargers, but this Model Y decided that he would much rather ICEing other CCS cars and take the Porsche Destination charger instead.

But the CCS people are a lot nicer. The blue Kona took up the CCS/CHAdeMOS combo station as the car doesn't take too fast a charge. The Mustang Mach-e can't go much above 150kW so it went for the 150kW station. Same deal with the VW ID4, leaving the faster 350kW one free for me to pull in. I went in last but I left first, getting from from 38% to 85% faster then those other cars getting from 50ish% to 80%. 

We all chatted while waiting and they all indicated that there is no point of them taking up the 350kW station and be that asshole. Cost is also another issue. It cost $0.57 a minute for the 350kW but $0.27 for the 150kW. It's free for me as Porsche is paying for the 1st year of fast charging.
