EV Car Charging Etiquette
Thank you for using the vehicle charge station here at City National 2CAL. We support your decision to drive an electric vehicle and ask that you follow these simple rules while charging.
Safety First
Practice safe charging by properly managing the cord during and after charging. During charging tuck the cord under your car so people will not trip on any excess length or drive over it. After charging, neatly wind the cord on its holder and tuck in any excess length. Avoid overstretching the cord and do not place the cord such that it contacts any part of another vehicle.
EV Charging Spaces are for EVs Only
It is not acceptable for a gasoline powered vehicle to park in a charging spot designated for a plug-in car. That is a firm rule, no matter how crowded a parking lot is, and no matter how infrequently the charging location is used.
Charge Only When Necessary
Do not charge if you do not need a charge. Leave the spot free for another EV driver who might need the charge to complete his or her daily travels. Please utilize your home as your primary charging location and use workplace charging as needed to augment your home charge.
All Electric Vehicles are Created Equal
An owner of a pure battery electric vehicle (BEV) does not have the right to unplug an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV), such as a Chevy Volt, or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) just because that car has a back-up gas engine. Our goal is for every EV driver to maximize his/her daily electric commute.
Do Not Unplug Someone Else’s EV… Except When They Are Done Charging
Do not unplug someone else’s EV, unless they have clearly finished charging (blinking green charge- indicator light on the dash). Take care when touching anyone else’s car, charge cord, etc. – treat it like your own. And if you unplug a car that has finished charging, make sure to close the charge door so it is not mistaken for a car waiting to be charged.
Charge Up and Move On…
Only occupy a charging spot while your car is being charged. As soon as the charging session is completed – either when your battery is full or when you have adequate range to comfortably reach your destination – be prepared to unplug and move your car, making way for a fellow plug-in driver. It is never acceptable to park your vehicle in a designated charge spot for the entire day. These are charging spots, not parking spots.
Workplace Charging is an Amenity, not a Right
Remember, charging your vehicle is an amenity, not a right. You are an ambassador of an important and growing market for plug-in electric vehicles. We appreciate your help. Thank You!
If you have any questions, please contact the ChargePoint Support Team (1-888-758-4389)
Happy Charging!
