I've often heard forum members offer the good advise to ride in a respectful manner to help advocate the usage of ebikes to improve the environment and to prevent the government from adopting a heavy hand when legislating new laws. I think the same thing applies for accessing publicly accessible plugs for a recharge.
Irrespective of one's actual motives, the public's perception that an ebiker is stealing power is what's important here. We don't want to be seen as a bunch of hooligans, and it is best to be prudent and use good judgement/ask for permission when accessing plugs for a charge mid-journey.
Asking for a charge also presents an opportunity to showcase emerging ebike and battery technology to the general public.
Remember that when people make a purchase, they're not just buying into ebiking, they're buying into the ebike culture - we should make it palatable.
