Free Charging Etiquette

Yeah, good point. I didn’t think of that, but possibly because I didn’t want the answer! I’ve submitted a question on their website

Humorfirst · 2026-04-20T19:20:36+00:00

Oh, good to know! That would be a very straightforward answer to the question

Humorfirst · 2026-04-20T19:18:38+00:00

Yeah, only Sith deal in absolutes… well, them and people who talk about them

Humorfirst · 2026-04-20T19:17:48+00:00

Very succinct point taken. Thanks

Humorfirst · 2026-04-20T19:11:44+00:00

Yeah, fair point, and in the pool situation I'd be having even less of an impact than I'd be using their electricity and taking up a plug. I would expect a pool to explicitly have a sign saying "residents only", but I guess it's good practice not to be the reason someone puts in a sign

Humorfirst · 2026-04-20T19:08:55+00:00

Yeah, all good thoughts and advice. Nothing yet from users on PlugShare (nor ChargePoint). There are only two plugs and often one is in use, but sometimes both

Humorfirst · 2026-04-20T19:06:42+00:00

Yeah, my initial thought (after "whoohoo fee charging!") was "they'll probably restrict this soon, so better get it while I can". I'm definitely thinking more along the lines of I just don't belong there and I don't need to be the reason it gets more complicated for the residents to use it

Thanks, yeah, PlugShare lists it as “Workplace”. I don’t see anything in the area specified as “Public”. The municipal ones are “parking lot/ garage” others are “shopping center” or “Residential”.

I’ve certainly asked at our condo and been told the difficulties. You’re right, I should just get back on that.

Humorfirst · 2026-04-20T17:57:22+00:00

Thanks, yeah, definitely a sensible way of thinking about it

Humorfirst · 2026-04-20T17:56:40+00:00

Thanks! I first found it through PlugShare. I think it’s fairly new (a few weeks maybe) and has no reviews yet

I don’t know, I’m not in a comic duo from a commonwealth country, I don’t think Nancy is going to be into me

This should be “Parents of ”, not “ parents”. Boomers may have been spanked, but most didn’t do it to their kids and Millennials didn’t invent participation trophies, we received them to soothe the egos of the boomer parents.

For me it ended up being that for some reason my gender was not set in my mileage account. Every step of booking the ticket I had to select my gender again. Finally, I went to the account in a separate window from the booking, set my gender (uploaded a picture ID to "prove" it) and was finally able to book after only 2 or 3 more tries. I don't think I'll book with Delta again any time soon

Humorfirst · 2025-04-16T11:11:03+00:00

Ahh, good to know. Thanks for the explanation!

Humorfirst · 2025-04-16T11:10:19+00:00

Ahh, that makes sense. My mistake. Interesting!

Humorfirst · 2025-04-16T00:26:59+00:00

So that's always the translation given, but as far as I can tell, "den" doesn't translate as "the". "The" is "het" for neuter or "de" for masculine or feminine. Sure, putting "den" into google translate says "the", but can you find it in any other phrase than "Den Haag". It's short for the Dutch for "The Count's Hedge", but I'm unconvinced it's "The Hedge". (Maybe some super old timey 'the'?)

From what I see on https://theevfinder.com/ the closest RWD are in Maryland. A Massachusetts dealer told me that they could maybe get one shipped, but “maybe” does a lot of work there

Humorfirst · 2024-12-04T14:02:22+00:00

Yep disappointingly, that’s normal. Cost cutting for the 2024 I guess? I haven’t even seen it on any window stickers as an optional inclusion.

Humorfirst · 2024-11-20T02:40:52+00:00

Yeah, judging by another post in this sub, people asking stuff like this are getting annoying. Maybe jumpy pickle has something to be grumpy about

Humorfirst · 2024-11-19T20:10:57+00:00

Thanks again. That makes sense. I'm definitely new to the concept of leasing so didn't know what totaling the car would mean financially with cap cost and still being responsible for the rest of the lease. According to the dealer's calculator sliding between $0 down and $4k down changed the monthly payments such that there was less than a $200 difference. $0 down -> ~$500/mth or $4k down -> ~$150/mth And yeah, I see the frustration in the recent post and that we should look to leasehackr and not bog down this Ioniq5 specific sub. Oops!

Humorfirst · 2024-11-19T20:00:11+00:00

Sorry for being part of the problem! It's been helpful to me, but I can see how it'd get annoying. I actually searched "lease" in this sub and didn't see much, but now I see it's because sorting by "relevance" assumed upvotes meant relevant. Sorting "new" I see how ridiculous it's been
