Charging station etiquette every EV renter should know

Published August 9, 20263 min readHow-to guide

Move off as soon as you are done, blocking a charging point really is charged for, plus 5 more things beginners get wrong.

Charging stations are a shared resource. Using them politely keeps them available for everyone and keeps you clear of penalty fees.

Move your car out the moment charging is finished. Many stations bill THB 5-10 per minute for occupying a charging point once the battery is full.

Never park a petrol car, or any car that is not charging, in a charging bay, even when it is standing empty.

On DC charging, stop at 80% whenever there is a queue. Everything past that point is slow and eats into the time of the people waiting.

Coil the cable back into place when you finish. A cable left lying on the ground is easily damaged and dangerous for the next driver.
