The charging etiquette is to clear the spot as soon as you finished charging.

And then as mentioned it would be good solidarity to let the front desk know that if necessary you will move your car.

A Tesla arriving and counting on the charging spot to leave with a fully charged battery the next morning will not be happy when the spot is taken by a PHEV that can leave the next day anyway on fuel.

I think now that EV and PHEV are more common the charging etiquettes will become more important.
