31. Estación de carga
Una estación de carga es un lugar equipado con uno o más puntos donde la batería de un vehículo eléctrico o híbrido enchufable puede conectarse a una fuente de electricidad y recargarse. Puede estar situada junto a vías públicas, en aparcamientos, áreas de servicio o propiedades privadas.
Las plazas de carga pueden estar reservadas a vehículos que estén cargando y sujetas a restricciones de estacionamiento, límites de tiempo, pago u otras condiciones. Los conductores deben respetar las señales, normas de estacionamiento e instrucciones de carga aplicables.
What is a charging station?
A charging station is a location where electric vehicles can be connected to an electricity supply to recharge their batteries. A station may contain one or several individual charging points.
Who can use an electric-vehicle charging station?
Charging stations are intended for vehicles that can be externally charged, such as battery-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles. The exact vehicle categories permitted may be indicated by local signs or operator conditions.
Is a charging space an ordinary parking space?
Not necessarily. A space beside a charger may be reserved for electric vehicles or vehicles that are charging. Drivers must check the signs and markings before parking there.
Can a petrol or diesel vehicle park at a charging station?
Not where the parking space is officially reserved for electric vehicles. An ordinary parking space located near a charger may be different, so the applicable signs and markings determine who may park there.
Can an electric vehicle park at a charging point without charging?
This depends on the local traffic and parking rules. Many charging spaces require the vehicle to be connected to the charger, even if the vehicle itself is electric.
Do you have to pay to use a charging station?
Charging may be free or subject to payment. The price and payment method are determined by the charging operator, while separate parking charges may also apply.
Can a charging station have a maximum parking time?
Yes. Traffic signs, parking regulations or charging conditions may establish a maximum duration to encourage drivers to move their vehicles and make the charger available to others.
Must you move the vehicle when charging is finished?
Follow the local parking rules and charging conditions. Some locations require vehicles to leave after charging or impose additional fees or time limits when the charging session has ended.
Does using a charger override ordinary parking restrictions?
No. A charging station does not allow a driver to ignore no-parking rules, reserved spaces, time limits or other traffic regulations. The vehicle must still be legally parked.
Are all charging stations equally fast?
No. Charging stations can provide different charging powers. Some are intended for longer parking periods, while high-power chargers can recharge compatible vehicles much more quickly.
