I think if I owned the charge station I would set up a drive so you could park parallel on the other side so a trailer did not need to block. Even if parked on gravel.
For sure. I don't want to give the impression that they are all like this. But there are still many like this and with the push for more stations I think a lot of these will stay the way they are.
Here are a few pics of other stations both Tesla and public that are more compatible with trailer towing.
This is a trailer slot. The charger has been repositioned so that the Tesla drives in nose first. These are getting reasonably common. Usually one at each end of the line or sometimes just one.
These drivethru's still end up using two spots but that happens at gas pumps too.
Another version of the drive thru.
These are ideal. This is a public station. We have used this one. And there is enough space to the next charger for about a 25 foot trailer.
Another pull thru.
Unfortunately this is common where we are.
Anyway. You get the idea. Us early adapters have to figure it out. But with all the EV half tons hitting the street I think the planners are starting to take notice as we are noticing things improving...slowly. We can only hope. :)
Safe travels
