IMPORTANT:
- Only one vehicle can use the fast-charge station at a time.
- While your vehicle is charging, please remain nearby. Once your vehicle is charged, please be considerate and ensure the station is made available as soon as possible to other electric vehicle owners.
- To reduce charging time, aim to charge only up to 80%, as charging speeds typically reduce significantly after reaching 80-90% state of charge. This will make the station available to other users sooner
