Some internal combustion engine drivers have already experienced this painfully: Anyone who parks in a designated area for charging in a public area without a fully or partially electric “plug-in car” (electric or plug-in hybrid car) usually pays £40. . duration , 60 or 100 francs (up to 2/2–4/4–10 hours) buses.
But be careful: This does not mean that CHF 100 is the maximum. Anyone who stays here for more than ten hours – that is, a longer night or weekend – will be turned away. This always costs several hundred francs, including fees, but can quickly exceed 1,000 francs, depending on duration and circumstances. For example, the blue zone parking fault incident in Zurich: For three days there was a fine of 700 francs plus a fee of 550 francs for one hand width beside the line. So 1250 francs.
Problem case private property
It’s better not to have it – no one would even think of standing in front of a gas pump without filling it up (here are all the parking rules). Problem: Many charging stations are located on private property, for example in the parking lots of shopping malls – where the charging stations are often attractively close to the entrance. Experience has shown that operators are quite reluctant to use administrative compensation or referrals as a means of combating faulty parking, as they do not want to inconvenience customers.
However, electric cars that remain stationary after charging also block the poles. For this reason, many toll providers now charge extra fees. This can be done quickly: Tesla, for example, charges 50 centimeters from superchargers five minutes after the end of the charge, and even a franc per minute if the station is full! Or up to five francs per hour on the Gofast loader.
non-charging electric cars
A recent bad habit is e-car drivers, who naturally stop at charging stations where security rather than police patrols, naturally uncharges. Because the charging station does not register the vehicle, traditional charging systems cannot charge a fee and the space is often shown as empty to other e-drives on the web.
Is this allowed? “Parking a vehicle in a parking lot is prohibited unless it is designed for that type of vehicle or user group due to signaling or marking” – ie no because the parking space is being used inappropriately. Legal practice should show more. Of course, you can still get away with it without a fine. But it’s already brutal.
