Tesla owner runs cable over sidewalk and scooters to charge
Tesla owner runs cable over sidewalk and scooters to charge
2025-09-03
In New Taipei City’s Banqiao District, one resident has put up an extension cord from their home, crossing the sidewalk and over scooters in order to charge their Tesla parked on the side of the road. The cable would hang in midair, making it difficult for pedestrians to pass. After someone complained online, other netizens commented that they have often seen the car parked on the yellow line and charging after 9pm, which is against the law.
Someone was about to pull out their scooter and drive home, only to find a long wire sitting on top of it.
This long black cable is coming from a first-floor resident’s home, stretching across the sidewalk and over several scooters, until finally reaching a Tesla parked on the side of the road.

The cord was running from a resident’s home to the street, stretching seven or eight meters and hanging on top of scooters. But the neighbors didn’t seem surprised.
Voice of a local resident
He parks his car on the yellow line. He pulls the cable out and it plugs in over there. If the cops come, he takes it back and drives off, then comes back around and keeps charging.
A long cable stretched out at night like this is not only illegal, but dangerous to pedestrians and the car itself.

Car expert
The main concern is that if a pedestrian or scooter passes by and pulls the cable loose, it could damage the charger itself.
Chou Yu-cheng
Police officer
Our precinct has not received any public reports of someone running a charging cable from their home out to the roadside for charging. But behavior like this violates the Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act and is subject to a fine of NT$1,200 to NT$2,400.
The Tesla owner likely charges their vehicle this way for convenience. Getting a ticket may not be a big deal, but the danger the extension cord poses to passing pedestrians and scooters is very real.

誇張! 特斯拉停路邊充電 "電線懸空"橫跨騎樓.人行道
2025-09-03
新北市板橋區民族路上，有住戶將特斯拉停放在路邊，還從家裡一路接電線，拉出來充電，整條線懸在半空中，導致行人經過都相當困難。有民眾PO上網抱怨，結果有其他網友表示，晚上九點後，常常看到這輛車，都停在路邊黃線上充電，而這樣的行為，也已經違規。
一名騎士，準備把機車牽出來，看見這一幕超傻眼。
只見一條長長的黑色粗線，就從住家內，延伸到騎樓，通過人行道，甚至還掛在路邊機車上，再接到特斯拉的車尾。

“當時充電線，就從民宅裡面往外拉，拉了將近7到8公尺長，還掛在機車上，但附近鄰居，早就見怪不怪”

“他車就停在黃線上啊，然後，他就拉線出來，線就插在那邊，然後警車來，就趕快把它放回去再開走，再繞回來繼續充”
這麼長的一條線，天色昏暗時，擋在人行道上，宛如絆馬鎖，車主的行為不僅違規，還可能傷人、傷車。

“最主要是，如果假設有行人通過，或是機車通過，把這個充電線扯斷的話，可能會對充電頭本身，造成影響”
[[板橋警分局交通組巡官 周宥承]]
“將住家內充電座，電纜線，拉至路邊進行充電，本分局未接獲民眾報案，但類似行為，已違反道路交通管理處罰條例，可處新台幣1200元以上，2400元以下罰鍰”
貪圖一時方便，把車輛停在路邊拉線充電，吃罰單事小，如果導致路人受傷，才真的麻煩。
