When I first heard that Ford had released adapters and opened access to the Supercharger network, I noticed some people getting angry about that. Supercharger stations have long been designed to reach the port at the rear-driver side of the vehicle, and everyone is expected to back in to get it all lined up. The uniform nature of this meant shorter cables were needed and everything worked out fine.
Being a generally polite person, I decided to look into some possible ways to alleviate the problem. It turns out, I’m not the only person who thinks this way, and other people have been experimenting with this, too. Here’s one possible solution a Rivian driver came up with:Obviously, not every EV can do this without scraping or something. So, pulling over a curb to get into a position to not block a stall for others isn’t a solution for every driver.
But, in reality, this probably doesn’t matter that much because I was literally in the only car at the whole station with all of its stalls. I could have found a way to take up 3 or 5 stalls and it wouldn’t have inconvenienced anybody in any kind of car. But, if you’re in my shoes, you might feel differently and really want to use Superchargers all the time to feel good or something. So, let’s talk some more about the issue.In the long run, we’ll probably see V4 chargers everywhere and this won’t matter. In the meantime, another post I came across shows us that there might be another temporary solution afoot:
