Drivers can stay at most chargers for up to two hours without being fined
Electric car drivers in Glasgow have been hit with up to £73,400 in fines for overstaying at council charging bays nearly 2000 times since charges were introduced.
Replying to Councillor Brown's question at a recent full council meeting, Councillor Angus Millar said: "As the member is aware, tariff arrangements were introduced on 11 April 2023, with maximum charging durations and an associated overstay fee of £40 being applied at each charging unit to discourage “bay blocking” and allow as many drivers as possible to make use of the resource.
"That means an electric car owner would need to move their car three times in order to fully charge their car."
