Charging Station Etiquette
‘This is an EV charging station. Only park in the EV parking if
charging a vehicle.’
1. Vacate a parking location once charged and make available for others.
2. Unplugging a plug-in hybrid just because it has a standby gasoline
engine is not acceptable.
3. Never unplug anybody to plug yourself in, unless you notice that the
other vehicle is fully charged. If you do, leave a polite thank you note.
4. In case the vehicle is not charged, park alongside and leave a note for
that owner to plug your car in after his/her session is done.
5. Always leave ‘OK to unplug when charged’ note if you plan to be away
from your vehicle. This would ensure that other EV owners don’t get
held up and can safely unplug your fully charged car to charge theirs.
6. If using a standard 10 Amp socket on the distribution box please use
the middle parking bay.
7. Always Practice safe charging and report any problem.
