Ironic EV situation

[EvTek23]

I saw this and I thought how ironic. An Octopus Energy van on charge at a Source London charge point and at 64p /kWh!
Any other pictures on the same theme?

Not exactly the same theme but frustrating as it was blocking the charger all weekend and not even pretending to charge.

@slmorgan42, not far from the place I took the photo starting this thread there are EV's parked in a double charging bay not on charge or even connected, using it for EV parking.

Problem there is there's no sign to say EV Charging only so they take advantage.

Can only think "Time is money" - better to plug in somewhere convenient and save time than go somewhere to get an Octopus discount.

They are imposing revenue collection fines over this side for tying up a charging bay, even if it is an EV, but not actually charging.
I think it's a great idea, the charger operator allows 20 mins I think it is, to unplug and move from the charging bay, or they add a parking charge because your vehicle is blocking potential sales for the charger owner .... and I feel that is also the right thing to do ....
