We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Enable enforcement of electric vehicle charging point infrastructure
Make it illegal to occupy a public charging bay without charging your vehicle (all chargers) or staying beyond reasonable time (approx 15 mins) after charge completion (rapid chargers only).
Enforcing means-tested fines for breaking the law proposed above.
More details
An increasing number of EV drivers require public chargepoints: approximately a third of households in the UK do not have a driveway or garage and cannot install a home chargepoint, and there are plenty of other drivers who want to ‘top-up’ their battery while away from home.
For existing EV owners, where the infrastructure is weakened by the occupying of charging bays by internal combustion engine vehicles or for those EV owners who use charging bays for 'exclusive' parking i.e not charging.
