A charging bay is shared infrastructure
A public charging bay is useful only when drivers can take turns. Treat the session as a shared service: start when needed, monitor progress, and free the bay once you have enough range.
Fast charging is usually most efficient up to around 80%. After that, charging speed often tapers to protect the battery. At a busy site, stopping at 80% is often more considerate than waiting for 100%.
Move the car after the session ends
The most important habit is simple: do not leave the vehicle blocking a charger after charging has finished. When the app notifies you that the session is complete, return, unplug properly, and move to a regular parking bay.
One idle vehicle can make the next driver wait even though the charger is technically available.
Communicate clearly when there is a queue
If every bay is occupied, queue in order and avoid taking another driver's place. If you need to ask, keep it short and polite: whether the session is nearly done, or whether the driver can let you know when they move.
Clear signage, visible bay markings, and app-based charger status all help reduce confusion at busy charging sites.
Handle the connector with care
DC fast-charging connectors are high-power equipment. Return the connector to its holder, avoid leaving cables across traffic paths, and never pull the cable from an awkward angle.
A tidy charging area is safer for drivers, site staff, and nearby vehicles.
