Exactly. Are you intentionally pointing out the obvious and repeating my point while also missing the larger point? I think the answer is yes.
I’ll try to explain one more time. This dorkus and everyone else complaining about the length of the cord have no idea what is going on. DC cords are always short, I could explain why but I’m not sure many would understand. The rivian just like my Ioniq5, my ioniq phev and every other ev on the market has the charging port in one of 2 locations, front or back of the car, usually driver front and passenger rear. This means that the dork in the article didn’t need to parallel park to reach the charger, they could have backed in or pulled in normally and all would have been well.
The above doesn’t absolve the 911 caller of being an asshat.
I rented a Mustang Mach-E last week and pulled up to a supercharger.
It wasn’t CCS, id found out, but also I couldn’t have parked close enough inside of one spot to reach the charger.
And depending on where they are , “driving 10 minutes down the street” might not be an option. Depending on how rural or built-up the area may be, it could easily be dozens of miles away (or out of the way) to the next charger. And it’s probably at some podunk motel or a dealer lot after-hours where you can’t even find a restroom.
You saw a lot of dumbasses who could just pull up to the gas pump facing the other direction and solve their problem easily
