People who caused problems were arrested depending on how bad a problem they caused. You don't block charging stations, you enforce rules or you have chaos.
People blocking charging stations.

Maybe you misunderstood me, where did I say I supported people blocking the charging stations?
I said that they are taking out their frustrations on the wrong people and most definitely should not be blocking these stations.
Thing about everyone taking matters to their own hands: nobody will be right. There is a reason we have laws and people follow them, and the way to "fix" is to petition to change them instead of going around blocking stations.
What if tree huggers decided to blow up refinery or oil well? Isn't that the same? Justified because it is "for the greater good"?

You didn't and neither did I. I offered a suggestion of how to reduce/stop problem causing people.
This is a good point. People should mind their own beeswax lest this becomes the modern day Salem Witch Hunts.
I know the answer. CA just needs more laws!!
I am absolutely certain the people who are blocking the charge stations threw the main breaker at their house to ensure no electricity use before they left home. / sarc
You have the right to protest the station not block it. In my neck of the woods they would have been forcibly removed by the police or owner. Around here during hurricane's some stations limit you to small amounts - like 10 gallons or less, when supply is short. Maybe they can just limit to some percentage charge?

That situation should have been addressed by Police within a few minutes

Sure, they'll sort their issues with more legal diarrhea.
After all, it has worked so well in the past.
Not condoning this driver's actions in blocking the charging station.
Just taking issue with the statement that the owners of EVs had "nothing to do with the problem".
It was just 60 years ago that residential AC became common, before that, people didn't live in the desert in 3k sqft houses. The problem is the people who moved to the desert, yet never expect to have to deal with desert problems...I want Fescue and 68F inside temps when it is 111F outside, that is overconsumption and overconsumption IS the problem here.
I take issue with people being told that EV's are the solution to all our problems and then being told they're the problem.
Don't tell people that EV's are this amazing, wonderful solution when you don't have the infrastructure to support people owning them. Cart before the horse, so to speak.
Apparently they simply just cant produce electricity either.
Because they don’t. CA had problems with electricity production, blackouts, brownouts long before EVs were in the mainstream. EVs are not the issue.
They are the easiest to blame though.
Maybe we need a new forum called EV Schadenfreude. So in solidarity with and in sympathy for the California greens, last night I cut off my HVAC and opened the bedroom windows. The late summer night backyard sounds were very soothing.
I feel good that my tiny gift helped.

reduce the charge speed, at 1/4 the speed you can only serve 1/4 of the cars.
Californians being Californians…….
