I love this.

One Nissan Leaf and Hyundai Ioniq 5 owner Andrew Till, who goes by the Twitter handle “Mr. EV”, recently took to the social media channel to get some feedback after he upset the owner of an EV he unplugged so he could use the only public rapid charger in Canterbury in south-east England.

“I’m at a Geniepoint charger,” says Till in the posted video (see below). “When I got there I could see another Leaf using it, so I pulled in and there was no whirring sound.”

As a whirring sound is not always audible while charging, he says he also checked to see if there were any flashing lights in the Leaf and didn’t see anything. “So I unplugged the (Leaf) and plugged in my (car),” he says.

After returning from the local shop, which was about to close, he says he found the other Leaf owner there pacing around.

“He didn’t look happy at all,” says Till. Asking the person if it was their Leaf, he says they replied, “No, not cool, piss off.”

He says he tried to explain that the car can’t be unplugged it if it is not charging, but then other man wouldn’t listen. “He looked like he was going to punch me at one point,” says Till. “If he was with the car when I plugged in, obviously I would have asked … but you just can’t unplug the car if it’s on a rapid charger for safety reasons apart from anything else.”
