Closed Enable enforcement of electric vehicle charging point infrastructure

Closed on

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.

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.
