hehe as I bolt owner I’m now trained to listen for the beeps. I had an eGolf with the port on the rear passenger side and it seemed far less annoying than front driver side… I guess because stepping back to close driver door then forward seems more awkward than just continuing back and around. This is more so when getting back in the car to chill while DCFC charging.
Because different locations make sense in different situations. In the case of 99% of drivers they’ll be plugging in at home and having them on the left side means they don’t have to walk around the car to plug in.
This is why is why it bugs me when car manufactures design EVs without a charging port on the passenger side.
Usually the driver plugs in is probably why
It would be annoying to walk around every time
Not to mention how much harder to reach out the (driver’s) window to shut the charge port door (Bolt EV) when you drive away with it open lol

Exactly, like, why did everybody decide to get cute and move them around?
