Neighbor uses large truck to block homeowner's EV charger that he paid to have installed in his own parking space: 'I cleared it with the HOA paid for the professional install'

A homeowner installs a fully approved EV charger, only to have the parking space taken and charger blocked by a neighbor who is convinced it's environmentally dangerous

Everyone has opinions, but it doesn't mean they're right. Even when they're wrong there's a sliding scale of the ones that are more plausible, like you can kind of follow their logic and see how they got to their conclusion, but then there's the ones where you literally want to put your hands to your head and declare, "What?!" as the confusion crosses your face.

No matter how you feel about electric vehicles and your reasoning for it, it's just a fact that taking someone else's parking space because of your own personal feelings about something and actively impeding their ability to go out about their day is just a pitifully sad thing to do. If you're going to get that worked up about the fact that a car gets plugged in there's clearly some other severe emotional issue going on.

This goes doubly for anyone who is seemingly incapable of parking between the marked lines of parking spaces or showing a modicum of respect for other people. There is really no reason to treat your neighbors like this. There's a reason why being "neighborly" has a connotation of being helpful, friendly, or kind to those in your community. Though I'm sure a lot of us would sooner change that meaning based on our experiences with our own neighbors.
After clearing it with the HOA of the townhome complex where he lived and paying to install an EV charger at his own parking space, this homeowner soon found that his neighbor was making a point of taking up his space by parking across the lines of multiple spaces. This is a great reminder that some people really think electricity is some kind of magic that is powering all of our devices and the homeowner's reference to a "budget movie villain" is pretty on point.
