Yeah, I'd say so. Cynic that I am, I doubt that anything is going to work. However I see no harm in starting by assuming that most of the ICEV drivers, like the one you met, don't realize that anyone around there actually drives an EV. So maybe I'd try a bit of gentle humor. I'd park my EV behind an ICEd spot. I'd have someone take a picture of me holding the charging cable that I'd pulled out past the ICEV toward my EV - but darn it, it just won't quite reach. I'd make a windshield for the offending vehicles flyer with that pic, and a little text, something like "Sorry for the inconvenience, but could you please try to leave at least one of the EV chargers available?" I'd sign it something silly like "A member of the rare and endangered Nova Scotia species, EV Driver." That's just off the top of my head, and I'm sure you can come up with something much more creative and entertaining. But I think the key is to (at least at first) avoid being confrontational. Assume they're polite people, which is probably easier to believe in Canada than in the US, and just need to be gently reminded of their manners. Good luck!
