Tesla China has come up with a creative solution for the Supercharger parking by internal combustion engine vehicles (usually called ‘ICE-ing’) — most of the new Superchargers built in China now have a blue bar that blocks the vehicles from parking at the charging spot (photo above, more photos below).

Taking over the charging spots at electric vehicle charging stations or Tesla Superchargers is a wide-spread problem worldwide, but we have seen a solid approach to tackle the problem by Tesla China for the first time.

Recently there have been incidents in the United States where large pickup trucks intentionally blocked a Tesla Supercharger and even threatened Tesla owners verbally.

Keeping these issues in sight Tesla China’s effort to de-ICE their Supercharging stalls is to be appreciated.

Tesla owners approaching the Supercharger spot just need to have a WeChat app on their mobile phone to scan the QR Code visible on the wall behind the charging stall and the iron bar colored in blue will be lowered down to access the charging point.
