'Unfair' Drivers slapped with £120 private parking fines while charging their EVs

A spokesperson for Parkingeye said the company “strongly advises motorists using an EV point within a private car park to read the signage”.

The charges follow news that private parking fines are to be capped at £50 by the Government.

Private car parks will have to display prices more clearly, introduce a fairer system for appeals and give drivers a grace period for lateness.

Operators that do not follow the rules could be barred from collecting fines from motorists, the government said.
