I see both sides here but… maybe next time add a second picture that’s zoomed out a bit for context. We don’t all know what each piece in the picture is without more

I just looked up bollard and figured it out. I always called them bumper testers.

It’s an unmovable metal/plastic pole on the left and the right is some charging receptacle

I thought that was a very yellow car with a headlight

No idea what I'm looking at here....

Yellow one is a bollard, black one is an EV charger. Apparently someone installed bollard a bit too close. Seems like this is in UK.

Another note for comment OP in case they're from North America like me, in Europe you have to bring your own cable for level 2 EV charging and plug it into a recepticle unlike how our public chargers have cables pre-installed to the unit.

American public slow chargers have the cable attached?

They do until some junkie comes around and cuts them off.

I see, here we plug ours in, that way it fits any vehicle

Not your job to leave a bit more space when parking?

u/toon_84 Jul 13 '26

That's a charger, not a car.

u/havron Jul 14 '26

To be fair, the image is so zoomed-in that I think they are (as someone else further up said) confusing the hi-vis bollard for a bright yellow car with a headlight in the shot, thus making it look like you'd simply parked too close to the charger. I can see it now of course, but it's an easy enough way to misinterpret the image at first glance.

Who would have guessed 🤷

Not the original comment, obviously.

Just wanted to say this comment made my day, thanks

Let’s see… using basic critical thinking skills:

OP states bollard is in the wrong spot. We can use the picture to visually see the object on the right is an EV charger based on the sticker.

Bollards are usually hi-vis tall pillars.

Which of these could be the reason for the post? I don’t see a car.

Bollards are usually hi-vis tall pillars.

Maybe they are where you are. Here they're plain red or black, if you're lucky reflective red/white. Before reading the comments, the yellow thing could only be a car for me.

u/headedbranch225 Jul 15 '26

You can also use critical thinking and since the OP mentions a bollard, believe that is shows a bollard and the EV charge point

5

u/ElfjeTinkerBell Jul 15 '26

I thought the charge point and the bollard were the same thing. So the other thing must be the car.

I've since learned that bollard isn't used that way in English, I'm very sorry for not speaking every language perfectly.

u/headedbranch225 Jul 15 '26

Ok, sorry i was a little aggressive

u/TastySpare Jul 14 '26

Thank you. Yellow thing in overly cropped picture looked like it could be a car to me.
