Anyone wishing to charge their car electrically must pay attention to ensure that they are not fined for their parking behavior when they return after charging. In the community The Hague this is not unusual because with electric charging in a paid parking area you not only pay for charging but also for parking. If the charging station is located in an area where paid parking applies, you must also pay for parking.
wrong parking
You can charge your car at a charging station. This is tested by checking whether the charging cable connects the car and the charging station. It is not the intention that users are parked there longer than necessary. You may not park a car that is not charging at a charging station. This applies to both a normal (non-electric) car and an electric car that is not connected to the charging station with the plug. You can then be fined for incorrect parking. And your car can be towed. This does not apply outside the window times indicated on a traffic sign at the charging point.
maximum charging time
If there is a maximum parking time in an area, this also applies to charging cars. If there is a traffic sign at the charging station with the text: '10.00:22.00 – 10.00:22.00 h', this indicates a window time. This means that the charging point between XNUMX:XNUMX in the morning and XNUMX:XNUMX in the evening is exclusively for charging cars. Outside these times, it is also allowed to park a non-electric car on this spot. For example, the municipality is trying to ensure that as many parking spaces as possible are available at night in areas with high parking pressure.
parking permit
Do you live or are you going to live in an area with paid parking? With a parking permit you do not have to pay for parking every time. The license is registered. If you have more than 1 car, you can apply for a separate permit for each car. You will pay € 2022 in costs for each application in 15,05. You also pay the costs of the permit every year. You cannot apply for a parking permit for some areas in The Hague. Or is the permit only valid in the evening, for example?
