In my head

On average, new EVs have 79 percent more problems than ICE vehicles. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) fare even worse with an average of 146 percent more problems. Hybrids, on the other hand, continue to be a bright spot. They experience 26 percent fewer problems than ICE vehicles on average, according to CR’s survey.

Enough said in this article!

What is the law when it comes to a gas powered vehicle parking in a charging station? In the article it said that in a store in Houston they put the stations near the doors and pushed out the handicap spots. I'm assuming, if an EV stopped at a gas pump and went inside he/she wouldn't get a ticket. Is it the same for ICE vehicles at charging stations.
