I was in the wrong and I don't care.

i purposely park my free breathing pickup in the EV, fuel efficient, and any other special parking spot. only people that should get special parking are; Veterans, handicapped and law enforcement/fire
Why are vets and police special?
I mean cops tend to be on the larger side, so I get that.
Most vets that need closer parking already have a plate or placard. Hell, I have one and I don't use it.
Retaliation seems to be the thing to do here. Make an honest mistake and expect someone to do something to make sure you know you were in the wrong. Nobody can just shake it off and go on with their day

veterans regardless of time served or branch served are better men than i will ever be and deserve more than society gives. Police as well, they work hard to make sure we keep a safer society regardless of what the media wants you to believe.
I can see some respect, but special rights, laws, like gun laws that exempt police, LE = not what our Constitution is about.
Yuck on heat. Hopefully the dry kind, I grew up with it in Middle East.
Personally I've never understood special spots except handicap's. But then again my sister and mom got yelled for parking in handicap spots. She couldn't walk far due to lung rejection/surgery, talk about mom turning into nuclear bomb. Things like that is why I tend to stay in my lane, never know someone's circumstances.
There is a process of asking Dr for placard and dmv gives you one. My wife’s aunt goes back and forth about using hers who has ankle fused for life due to severe car accident.
It was not hard to get it.
Usually they have charging when marked that way.
I’ve always told places that want to put them in to put the as far in the back as possible so only people that really need to charge are in them.
Sadly they usually locate “clean vehicle” spots up front so you can never actually use the things
But it wasn’t “an honest mistake” in this case.
Your title and first post say it all - you deliberately parked the spot despite knowing that your jeep didn’t fit the description.
Not a mistake - a willful act.
Willful acts often invite consequences.
Wow, that is a bit toasty! How much water and salt do you take in a day like that? I have worked in similar heat filling a hay barn to the roof with squares, but I was 15 so I survived pretty well, but I do remember coming down the hay elevator and 90F feeling quite cool!
Wouldn't want one anyway!
Seems like a poor business strategy on the restaurant’s part. Unnecessarily irritate most of their customers to make a few feel special about the car they are driving.
Get yourself one of these and some magnets.
Once upon a time, the supply chain for the Prius circumnavigated the globe, starting with nickel from canada before making its way to full up battery packs built into cars in Japan then shipped to the USA. Even then with a much smaller battery (hybrid vs EV) there were many pointing out how the cars were anything but good for the environment because they took so much energy to build and deliver to point of use.
Here in Indiana, where there are still some older tech coal plants providing power, it's quite possible an EV is dirtier than every other vehicle on the road except that kid in his "rolling coal" tampered/modified diesel.
Obligatory...
Given the band was called Tesla long before the car company existed - also poetic.

I may be biased as an EV owner.... oh wait, I don't care where you park. As long as you aren't taking up a charger, I think "clean air vehicle" parking (not in front of a charger) is super dumb. If there isn't a charger there, feel free to park there, It's none of my business. If you are taking up EV charger parking, though, especially if it's busy, yeah, I'm gonna say something.
No charger. Just writing on the ground
