It's not the only charging station in Moab.

Funny because, where he's going, they don't need roads!im betting that is going to fly right over most heads
It's arguably not theft. Jeep installed these for public use. Being a standalone solar device there is no electricity to steal other than Jeep's electricity which they are clearly giving away. It's local government that only provided a temporary permit and prohibited it's use. Not the owner of the device or the user of the device.That charging station was installed with a temporary special use permit, at the last minute, to allow Jeep to provide drive and ride experiences during the Easter Jeep Safari. That station is labeled, clearly, as out of order because the installation is not intended to be operational at this time.

It does not seem like a reasonable person would brag about theft on a public forum.
I'd also argue it isn't theft, nor civil disobedience because it isn't a pay station to begin with nor is it marked as "Private" or "Do Not Use". No one circumvented a payment process to access something for free. There was a charging station marked as "Out of Order". Typical for humans to do, someone tried it anyway, and it worked because someone decided to mark it as "Out Of Order" instead of "Do Not Use".It's arguably not theft.

That's civil disobedience because government is the only one who is getting ticked off by it.

Enlighten us ..is it cartoon show reference?
Where does it say "the installation is not intended to be operational at this time?" A better question would be why chance screwing up at 60K vehicle at a charging station labeled OOO? I sure as heck wouldn't.That charging station was installed with a temporary special use permit, at the last minute, to allow Jeep to provide drive and ride experiences during the Easter Jeep Safari.

Careful with the setting or you’ll end up dancing with your mom at the under the sea dance.

Why don’t we all make like a tree… and get outta here? Buttheads.Funny because, where he's going, they don't need roads!
Don't you mean, "McFly right over most heads..."im betting that is going to fly right over most heads
Nope. Doesn't fly.I'd also argue it isn't theft, nor civil disobedience because it isn't a pay station to begin with nor is it marked as "Private" or "Do Not Use".

If you have to read a news article and surmise the reason it's shut down based on the information in the article (which may or may not be why it's marked as "Out of Order"), then it's ridiculous to accuse someone of stealing for using that charging platform.
If the intent really is to have it non-operational until the government decides to permit it for permanent use, then they need to mark it as such (Private, Do Not Use, Not For Public Use, Etc.).
Technically, they're oil-burners now. The plug-in hybrids are the new coal rollers since that's where most of the electricity comes from in the US.My guess is the coal rollers were playing a joke on the 4xers.
Who said I was reasonable? There's about a dozen other free charging stations around Moab. We went to this one because it was listed as available, Jeep made a big deal bragging about all these stations and it is conveniently located near restaurants. It's solar powered so I guess I stole from God?That charging station was installed with a temporary special use permit, at the last minute, to allow Jeep to provide drive and ride experiences during the Easter Jeep Safari. That station is labeled, clearly, as out of order because the installation is not intended to be operational at this time.

We were at 90% having charged up at the power company's station earlier. It topped us off fairly quickly, but I didn't look to see what the actual rate was.Any idea what the charge rate was? Did it provide the full 7.2 kW?
Damn, and I thought I was being a bad boy. In either case, my wife thought I was all thug life so I got a little action later.I'd also argue it isn't theft, nor civil disobedience because it isn't a pay station to begin with nor is it marked as "Private" or "Do Not Use".
