EV driver slammed for worst piece of parking you'll ever see

An Australian electric vehicle driver in Tasmania has been slammed online for their "unbelievable" parking. 

In a picture shared on Facebook, the BYD was seen parked horizontally across two separate charging spaces in Howrah, Hobart. 

Not only did they hog two charging spots, but their vehicle also parked over two nearby motorbike bays. 

"Congratulations to this person yesterday who managed to connect to the charger on the right, while parking sideways across the charging bay on the left, AND a couple of bonus motorbike parking bays," a frustrated driver wrote online, after witnessing the scene. 

This prompted an outpouring of frustration from both EV drivers and Australians who dislike the  "electric vehicle community in general".

"They should put cameras on the charger and if they park like this it starts to drain the battery instead of charging it," one wrote. 

"Give me a crack at parking, I'd do better — even with my cane," another commented. 

"I officially give up trying to defend the EV community," a third added. 

"I honestly have no words," wrote a fourth.

EV etiquette has been a popular topic of debate recently, with drivers frequently being photographed for their questionable parking skills. 

Just a few months ago, a Tesla driver was mocked for their "entitled as" parking, after taking up two spots in a shopping centre to park their vehicle.
