Electric car fail!!!

Coming over a hill I spied this guy along side the road charging an electric car.

This is an Epic fail because...

1. He pulled over on the wrong side of the road to do his charging.
2. He now has to back out into traffic to get back on the road ( Note traffic will be coming over a blind hill ).
3. He could have parked on a road side pull off 500 yards back.
4. He is driving an electric car out in the country.
5. He hauls a gas generator around that has a gas tank that vents into the passenger compartment and isn't designed to survive a crash.
6. The extra weight of the generator probably reduced his mileage enough to keep him from getting the next two miles to town
