Psychological warfare

A Texas EV charging station in the “Texas Peony Garden” is generating controversy with a sign authorizing EV owners to deflate or puncture tires of non-charging vehicles parked in charging spots. The station operator, Cloud Fast Charge, confirmed the sign’s authenticity, aiming it as a deterrent to “ICEing” – gasoline vehicles blocking EV chargers. While the station would cover tire repair costs, no incidents have been reported. Early data suggests the tactic is effective in reducing violations, despite concerns over potential legal ramifications.
