Mass ICEing<\/p>\n
On Sunday, gas guzzlers blocked every single Tesla Supercharger in Yorktown Heights, New York in an event they called a car show.<\/p>\n
Blocking a Tesla charging dock with a vehicle is called ICEing short for internal combustion engine sometimes intended to troll electric vehicle owners. Its unclear what motivated the impromptu mass-ICEing in Yorktown, which was shared on a Tesla Facebook page, but the end result was the same: Tesla drivers in the area were effectively cut off from charging access.<\/p>\n
ICEing often takes place because drivers want to use the charging stations as parking spaces, but sometimes its done as a bizarre protest against Tesla.<\/p>\n
Its possible that the car show blockade was all a big misunderstanding its unclear whether anyone asked them to move or if some car aficionados simply capitalized on what appeared to be a parking lots worth of empty spaces.<\/p>\n
Without access to the station, Tesla drivers looking to charge their cars at the Yorktown Heights Superchargers inexplicably listed as a California station on Teslas website would have had to drive eke out another 14 miles to a charging dock on Ossining, New York.<\/p>\n
ICEing is often compared to blocking all the pumps at a gas station. But given the limited infrastructure in place to support electric vehicles, ICEing a Supercharger becomes much more of an inconvenience than losing any one gas station.<\/p>\n
