I saw a recent report that some angry California pickup truck drivers are protesting electric cars by intentionally parking in the electric car charging spaces in parking lots and rest stops throughout the state. And that gives me an idea for a TV spot for an electric car, reversing this idea.
So a couple of friends drives their electric car to a club but can’t find parking, so the driver just drives into a gas station and parks the car at the gas pump. The friend asks if it’s okay to do that, and the driver says gas car drivers do it to their charging spaces, so fair’s fair, and anyway, if they drove electric cars, they wouldn’t need the gas anyway, so they should just get an electric car. Then other people driving electric cars get the same idea, and pretty soon the gas station has all electric cars parked in front of all the gas pumps, and gas-guzzling car drivers are all waiting in a line around the gas station waiting, honking their horns at each other, looking like the 1970s gas crisis lines during the Iran hostage crisis. And someone in a car at the end of the line tells their passenger: "We wouldn't have to wait in this line for gas if we had an electric car!"
