ONE Ford Ranger Raptor A driver has angered electric vehicle (EV) owners after blocking a charging station – and moving the battery charging cable into its tub.
In an uploaded post r/uckland group on the social media platform Reddit, Ford Ranger Raptor can be seen parked next to one Nissan Leaf in the EV charging space.
If this isn’t enough of an inconvenience for electric vehicle drivers who want to recharge, the charging cable has been moved and stowed in the Ranger’s tray, with the lid locked.
The post included many comments questioning the car owner’s motives, as well as electric car drivers who were unimpressed with their antics.
Although New Zealand road rules make parking in an electric vehicle charging space a towable offense for non-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), Material The report does not have a specific penalty for the crime.
In Australia, different jurisdictions take different approaches to blocking EV chargers, with the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria banning the practice – all with fines with different amounts.
However, there will be a Ranger you can get your hands on soon, with a PHEV version of Australia’s best-selling car due in 2025.
