Yes, this is the beauty of electric vehicles. Just remember it doesn’t always take as long as you might think, so don’t forget to return before your charge is up. It’s good EV etiquette – as well as just being generally the polite thing to do – to move your vehicle when it’s finished charging, so other drivers in the queue can plug in. Don’t assume no one is waiting because you can’t see them, they may be parked somewhere else waiting for you to finish.
A good way to ensure you don’t forget to return to your charger in time is to download the ChargeNet app, which will allow you to keep and eye on the progress of your charge. Another way is to ensure you have updated your account’s SMS preferences. ChargeNet will send you a free text message letting you know when your charging session is finished, and how much it cost.
Fast charging stations are a limited resource, and the parks in front of them are for actively charging vehicles only. Some of our stations apply idle fees, and if your vehicles is not moved within five minutes of the completion of your charge, an idle fee of $1.00 per minute may be applied.
