DARK SECRETS: Non tesla ev supercharging parking issues are a significant problem | Vintage Vibes

The rollout of the Non-Tesla Supercharger Pilot progresses in Europe, including the most recent full opening in the Netherlands, but the parking issues remain a significant obstacle.

The problem is short cables - designed for a specific location of the charging port on Tesla cars - in the left rear corner.

If a vehicle has a charging port in a different location than the left rear (when parking backwards) or the right front (when parking forward), then it will very likely block some of the stalls/require an unusual parking approach. Tesla explains to not use the station if the car can't fit a stall.
