The EV charging issue aside, backing into parking spaces is safer. It's totally unjust that places ban it just so that lazy parking enforcers will never have to walk to the other side of a car to see its license plate.

If that's the reason, then the solution is a license plate on both the front and rear of the vehicle.
But much like the 'little country town' where the speedlimit goes from 55 to 25 instantly on the road into town so the local sheriff can ticket all those "speeders", they won't issue front and rear plates because doing so would cut off a revenue stream.

>backing into parking spaces is safer
In this age-of-big-data of ours, is there a way to quantify this for EVs? And how we can weigh that with the ease of backing out into a parking lot? Also, I'm curious on the percentage of EVs on the road that don't have rear traffic/pedestrian alerting or braking of some kind. Even my lowly S-trim Nissan Leaf has rear ultrasonic parking sensors.
