10 tips
If you follow these 10 tips, you'll automatically become part of our Happy Charger community and you'll make the lives of all EV drivers so much more enjoyable!
- Only use a charging point if you really need to charge your vehicle
Don't do it if you just need a parking space. Once your vehicle is sufficiently charged, move it to a normal parking space.
- Keep track of the time
At the start of each charging session, check how long it will take and make sure you're back to move your vehicle on time.
- Do not charge the battery to 100% if you don't really need to
The last 20% takes as long as the first 80%, especially at a fast charger.
- Be prepared
Use apps to check if a charging point is available or in use.
- Do not disturb any other charging station users
Park your vehicle correctly so that your charging cable is not in the way of other users, for example.
- Be polite
Do not disconnect EVs belonging to other drivers at public charging points unless it is indicated you can do so on a parking disc or magnet.
- Observe the local charging guidelines
For example, if you're only allowed to charge for 2 hours, do not outstay your welcome.
- Do not use charging points for car sharing or other services
E-taxi stations for example. You may be fined for doing this in many cities and towns.
- Handle your local charging points with care.
Report a faulty charging point in your app or to the charging point operator.
- Respect the traffic code
Do not park in the opposite direction of traffic to get your vehicle's charging socket closer to the charging station.
