Beware of unfamiliar outlets.
Charging an electric car at the first available power source can have unfortunate consequences, as an Atlanta-area Nissan Leaf driver recently found out.
As always, though, there's more to the story than the first live-TV report indicates.
Atlanta's 11Alive (via Transport Evolved) reports that Kaveh Kamooneh was arrested for stealing electricity from Chamblee Middle School after he left his Nissan Leaf electric car plugged into a school outlet while playing tennis.According to a statement issued by Chamblee City Manager and Police Chief Marc Johnson, Kamooneh admitted that he didn't have permission to use the plug, and accused the officer of damaging his Leaf.
The officer filed a report and--when police followed up with the school--officials recognized Kamooneh, noting that he had previously been told he wasn't allowed on the tennis courts.
The "totality of the circumstances" led police to issue a theft warrant, the statement said.
