Best practices for EV charging
At ubitricity, we believe in creating a community of responsible and safe electric vehicle (EV) users. Here are some guidelines to ensure a smooth and respectful charging experience for everyone:
1. Keep cables tidy

To avoid obstructing the pedestrian path, please ensure that your cable is kept close to the footprint of the car. If there is excess cable, please tuck the cable safely away underneath the car.
These actions help to eliminate trip hazards for people using the pavement, and also help to protect your vehicle and the charge point, so please make sure to check your cable is safely tucked away before leaving your car to charge.
2. Check local parking restrictions

When using public EV charge points, it’s important to be aware of local parking regulations. While some areas may have special allowances for electric vehicles (EVs), this is not always the case. Here are a few key points to keep in mind:
- Observe signage: Pay attention to any signs or road markings that indicate parking rules and restrictions. These can vary significantly from one area to another.
- No special allowances: Remember that not all locations offer parking exceptions for EVs. Ensure you are parked legally to avoid fines or penalties.
By staying informed and following local parking regulations, you can help ensure a smooth and hassle-free charging experience.
3. Move when your charge is complete

Once you’re fully charged we encourage you to move your vehicle to free up the space for others. Moving your vehicle to another spot will help reduce wait times and shows consideration for fellow EV drivers who may be waiting for a spot to charge.
4. Report anything suspicious

If you see any faults, vandalism or notice something suspicious about a charge point please report it to our customer service team who will look into the issue right away.
Promptly reporting suspicious activity helps maintain the safety and reliability of our charging network for everyone.
