<\/div>ICEd Out<\/h2>
In early January, news broke that certain drivers of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles were blocking electric vehicle (EV) charging stations<\/a>, an act known as ICEing, seemingly as some sort of protest against the vehicles.<\/p> Within weeks, Tesla proposed a solution<\/a>, and now — as is the Tesla way — the company is already rolling out an update<\/a> to it.<\/p> In mid-January, Tesla drivers in China began spotting strange-looking devices at Supercharger stations. They appeared to be small hurdles of sorts that, when in an upright position, would prevent a car from parking in front of a Supercharger. Each sported a QR code that a Tesla driver could scan to lower the hurdle, thereby unlocking the space.<\/p> On Thursday, Electrek<\/em> reported<\/a> that the Tesla Owners club in Taiwan posted information on an updated version of the devices to Twitter. Now, instead of a driver using the QR code to lower the hurdle, they simply back their car toward it. A camera on the device reads the car’s license plate, and the space unlocks automatically.<\/p> No word on when, or even if, the devices will make their way to the U.S. But if American drivers<\/a> continue to report issues with others ICEing them out of Supercharger spots, it certainly wouldn’t be outside the realm of possibility — maybe Tesla will even find another way to update the devices by then.<\/p> View from inside car pic.twitter.com\/fpTqbIPcfS<\/a><\/p> — Tesla Owners Taiwan (@TeslaOwnersTwn) February 14, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote> READ MORE:<\/strong> Tesla Tests New Innovative Way to Avoid Gas Cars ‘ICEing’ Superchargers<\/a> [Electrek<\/em>]<\/p> More on ICEing: Tesla Found a Clever Way to Prevent Supercharger ICEing<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p> The post Tesla’s Anti-ICEing System Just Got an Upgrade<\/a> appeared first on Futurism<\/a>.<\/p> Read more: ICEd Out In early January, news broke\u00a0that certain\u00a0drivers of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles were blocking electric vehicle (EV) charging stations , an act known as ICEing, seemingly as some sort of protest against the vehicles.
