EV Etiquette Guidelines

Safety First: Practice safe charging by properly managing the cord during and after charging. Avoid overstretching the cord, and ensure that the cord does not come in contact with other vehicles while charging. While your car is plugged in, make sure the way the charging cord is oriented so others do not accidentally trip or drive over it. If you have a plug-in-hybrid vehicle, make sure it’s not touching your exhaust pipe, which could be hot. Once your car has finished charging, remember to place the charging cord back into its holder.
Active EV Charging Only: An EV can only occupy a charging station while the vehicle is actively charging. Internal combustion cars are prohibited from parking in charge spots. As soon as the charging session is completed (i.e., your battery is full or when you have enough range to reach your destination), please unplug your EV and move it to an appropriate non-EV designated space to allow charging access for another driver.
Use Only When Needed: Please refrain from charging your EV if you don’t need a charge to get your next destination.
Unplugging Other EVs: Please do not unplug other EVs as it may disrupt charging or cause damage.
