The poor soul is trying to reduce their carbon footprint by going green, and then gets shafted by the clampers when charging the car. What gives?

But there's a valuable lesson to be learned from this.
The photo, shared on Reddit, is captioned: 'It’s your fault really if you want to be green'.
But a Redditor underneath notes that in Dublin, if you don't pay for parking *even when you're charging your electric car* you WILL get clamped:
' Most local authorities provide free parking at EV charge points, but in Dublin you're obliged to pay for parking as if it was a normal car.
I expect this catches out people who are visiting from outside the capital.'
Seems pretty harsh - but rules is rules!
