Doesn't it make you think that with EV's sitting in heat (overheat protection kicking in) that planners & designers of car parks are going to have to sort the heat island aspect out pretty sharpish via shaded canopies & decent planting / mutistorey from the outset.
Back on proper topic, it should be easy for a car these days to remind you (location services) to get a ticket via the proper route, OR to connect with a car parking algorithm & present an option on your screen / trigger audible instructions as to charge limit / free WITH ticket for more modern cars, if you can register with london for (for now) exemptions then it is surely not rocket science to register a car when you anticipate using a car park with anpr cameras regularly,...however the business model clearly thrives off issuing fines, so why would they?

Charged here (Oxford) today which may be in future my charger of choice on the way back south but I could not remember what was said in the video regarding parking charges.
Very confusing and contradictory info on some of the signage.
I could not remember the 1hr free ticket from the machine so I paid 1 hour for 40p on RingGo which I already had on my phone. Next time I will walk to the machine to get a free ticket.
I only stayed 10 mins as I was getting near 200kW charging rate.

Needed a top up at Moto Rugby today. All 12 of Gridserve's chargers were in use.
Had to wait about 10 mins for a charger and three became free for the three of us waiting. I put about 60 miles in my ID4 and finally arrived home with 70 miles of range. At least no range anxiety.
Do people find queue etiquette is good?
What range reserve do you charge to?
