Now it’s getting easier and easier to plug in your car to charge it. Indeed, there are more terminals than ever, whether in special areas, such as Ionity, or in the city. In different cities, it is relatively easy to find a terminal to charge your car’s battery. And this is even if the number of electric cars continues to increase, and sales continue to progress over the years. While some are lucky enough to have a garage or terminal at home, many owners have to turn to street terminals. Except it creates a bit of a problem.

There is an exception to the end of sales of diesel cars in 2035, voted by the European Parliament: luxury cars (Ferrari, etc.). Of course, there are not many of them, so the emissions will be limited, but for the symbol and social justice will have to be ironed pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE

Dangerous cables

Indeed, whoever is talking about charging is obviously talking about the cable. Except that drivers of electric cars very often leave them lying around. Enough to run the risk of hitting pedestrians or cyclists stuck in it with their legs or wheels. Without talking prams and wheelchairs, which then got completely stuck. And this annoys some municipalities, which then begin to act against this increasingly common phenomenon. Some require a mat to cover the cable while charging to prevent it from falling.

In Belgium, some cities go even further. This is especially true of the municipality of Capellen, which recently announced its creationa fine of 55 euros for those who leave the charging cable on the pavement. The first sanctions will fall from April next year. In addition, more than four hours at the charging station can no longer be left to avoid abuse and sucker cars.
