First, I know there are a few threads out there on charging etiquette and ICE'ing. I thought I would share this here. Mods: feel free to merge with another thread if you feel necessary.
I ran into this sign a long time ago in a City of Beverly Hills parking lot, but never got around to posting. This same sign is posted at every city owned lot charge location. This is some of the best language I have seen to date. Really makes you think. In fact, I saw a hybrid pull into a spot there once (not the plug-in type). I drove by in my MS and gave the guy a questionable look. We made eye contact, and without saying a word, he got back into his car and moved it. Awesome.
My only question is the 3rd bullet point. There is typically only 1 access point for 2 spots. Therefore, technically someone will either take a chance and park without charging, or otherwise leave the spot empty. I think the city is lenient, but has the official language there in case needed. I also had to laugh at the 2nd bullet point. I bought a lock ring when I first got my MS, but definitely will not use it here!
Also, a little background: For those of you visiting BH, each and every lot in the city has 2 hours of free parking as long as you enter before 6pm. Every lot has at least two ChargePoint stations, usually right at the entrance. Even better, they are FREE to use. You still need to sign up with ChargePoint, but the total amount is $0, no matter how long you charge.
