Petition Action

Stop parking companies fining EV drivers whilst they are using rapid chargers

Petition Details

Make an exception for rapid chargers to avoid the fine. Normally the car park is for "patrons" of the pub or gym, the business are normally fine with you just going in and entering you reg to avoid the fine. The problem however is the signage it's normally small and not located by the chargers

Additional Information

I have now been finned by various parking companies now for charging my car on a rapid charger. They are normally located in pub, gyms, or restaurants car parks. Rapid chargers are for keeping you moving on a long journey, the EV equivalent of a petrol station. They are not for leaving your car on charge whilst you are in a pub ora gym.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about parking restrictions for charging points in private parking areas are the responsibility of the landowners or the parking providers and not of the UK Government.

You could start a new petition calling for the Government to fund more charging points for electric vehicles in public areas, if this is something you would like to see happen.
