Charging Etiquette
Charging etiquette is the set of informal rules for considerate use of public chargers.
What is Charging Etiquette?
Move your car once charging is finished. At busy fast chargers, charge only to around 80 %. Do not unplug other cars unless clearly allowed. At home or work chargers, agreeing a rota helps share charging fairly.
How it works
Shared chargers work best when each driver uses them only as long as needed.
Why it matters for your car
Never park a combustion car in a charging bay. Report broken chargers to the operator.
