'An expensive lesson': Driver incurs $20 'idle fee' for leaving car at Jewel Changi Airport's EV charging lotPHOTO: Screengrab/Instagram/Cheryl TayOne woman was taught an "expensive lesson" after leaving her electric vehicle at a charging lot longer than necessary.
After plugging her vehicle at a charging point in Jewel Changi Airport, Tay returned for it two hours and 20 minutes later."It slipped my mind that I had a car charging," she said. From last December, SP Mobility has been penalising drivers who do not unplug and move their vehicles from selected SP charging lots within a grace period of 30 minutes after a session has ended with a $0.50 fine per minute, capped at $20 each time, reported CNA in March.
Dean Cher, head of mobility, sustainable energy solutions at SP Group, told CNA then that the idle fee is aimed at deterring hogging and reducing waiting times, as well as encouraging considerate charging etiquette, improving charger availability, and enhancing the charging experience for all EV drivers.
