A staff member reserved a charging station for the secretary by blocking a station, with a gas powered vehicle, preventing a family with children from charging their vehicle in the heat of the day. The family called the police to report the gas vehicle blocking the charging station but got no relief from the police.

I wonder if it is legal to use a gasoline car to reserve a charger ? I bet this idiocy becomes common in the near future.
