Everyone should be able to see that public charging infrastructure is a very scarce resource, and should be shared. Plainly, some people don't like to share. I drive a LEAF and don't feel like I am entitled to kick off a plug-in hybrid. If I arrive at a charger about the same time as another person, I am willing to give them precedence if their need is greater than mine. So, if I can make it home without additional power, I'm likely to just give the spot to someone with an empty battery, even if they can use gasoline to make it home. The problem on the horizon is that there will be hordes of plug-in hybrids that are always looking for a top-off thanks to those small battery packs, so all the available chargers will be busy and the pure EVs will get squeezed out. The solution is to provide lots of L1 and L2 EVSE ports at useful places like malls, movie theaters, grocery stores, workplace, municipal parking structures, truckstops, etc.
