Guardian Money cites a £70 penalty charge notice issued to Kevin Laban for using a Pod Point charger in an Aldi car park in Weymouth outside store hours, and a £100 fine for Clive Sanders after he paid only the InstaVolt charging fee but not the parking tariff in a Devon car park. The article also reports Anthony Stone received a £100 fine for using an advertised charger at a Holiday Inn without registering his number plate at the hotel. In each case, ANPR cameras enforced parking contract terms that did not distinguish charging from parking, and the drivers said signage and the charging apps gave no clear warning of the separate parking conditions.
