Hard to Believe: Young Girls With Such Bad Etiquette At EV Charge Station

This is my own real experience, what happened at the EV charge station at Walgreens 399 El Camino Real South San Francisco, CA 94080. Please share this video with as many people as possible. I was so surprised at the lack of courtesy of a couple of people using the quick charger at a charge station next to the SFO airport. By liking this video and sharing it you may help yourselves and a lot of others.

I wanted to take some EV charge station videos when I went to the San Francisco Airport to pick up someone. I knew I had to stop at some EV charge station since the airport is pretty far from my house. I chose a station with quick Level 3 charger because usually a quick charger stops after 30 minutes so my waiting time would probably not be much more than that. And I was so wrong, but not because there was more than one person in front of me. I really couldn’t believe it.

Alternative Methods

There is more than one way to approach this task. Here are the most common methods, ranked by difficulty and cost.

Professional Service

Take your vehicle to a certified mechanic or dealership for professional diagnosis and repair.

  • Difficulty: Beginner-friendly
  • Estimated Cost: $100-$300+
  • Notes: Guaranteed workmanship; saves time and eliminates guesswork

DIY Following Manufacturer Manual

Consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual and perform the procedure yourself with basic hand tools.

  • Difficulty: Intermediate
  • Estimated Cost: $20-$100 for parts
  • Notes: Most cost-effective; requires patience and willingness to learn

Online Tutorial + DIY

Watch detailed video tutorials specific to your make and model, then perform the repair yourself.

  • Difficulty: Beginner-Intermediate
  • Estimated Cost: $20-$100 for parts
  • Notes: Combines visual learning with hands-on practice; pause and rewind as needed

Tips and Common Mistakes

Avoid these pitfalls and use these tips to get the job done right the first time.

  1. Read the relevant section of your owner’s manual before starting any repair.
  2. Take photos of each step with your phone so you can reverse the process if needed.
  3. Label all connectors, bolts, and hoses as you remove them to avoid confusion during reassembly.
  4. Use the correct tool for the job — forcing a wrong-size wrench rounds off bolt heads.
  5. Work on a level surface with the parking brake engaged and wheels chocked.
  6. Keep a magnetic tray nearby to hold small bolts and fasteners so they do not roll away.
  7. If a bolt will not budge, apply penetrating oil and wait 10-15 minutes before trying again.
  8. Clean all mating surfaces before reassembly to ensure proper seals.

When to Take It to a Mechanic

Not every repair is a DIY job. Take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic if:

  • You are unsure about the diagnosis — misdiagnosing the problem wastes money on unnecessary parts.
  • The repair involves safety systems (brakes, steering, suspension) — mistakes here can be dangerous.
  • Special tools or equipment are required that you do not own and would cost more than the shop labor.
  • The vehicle is under warranty — DIY repairs can void warranty coverage if something goes wrong.
  • You do not feel confident after watching tutorials and reading guides — there is no shame in hiring a professional.
