Using a Public charger
for the first time?

Unplug at 80%

Charging slows down after your battery reaches 80%. Stopping here not only frees up the charger for others but also helps extend your battery's life.

Move once you're done

Charging spots are for active charging only. Once you're topped up, please move your vehicle so the next person can plug in.

Put the charging gun back safely

Always place the gun securely in its holster. This keeps the equipment safe and prevents cables from becoming a tripping hazard.
