This vehicle isn’t an EV. Please let me know what you are able to find.

I didn’t check when I left. Completely my mistake.

There's a case if this isn't an EV that the contravention should be wrong class of vehicle. I think there's another recent case where a CEO noted this - I'll try and find it.

Is the contravention stated on the PCN correct as I only had the back wheels in the bay behind? A more appropriate contravention code would have been "Not parked correctly within the markings of a bay"?
Unfortunately not, because you have intruded into a bay with different restrictions. If you look at the photo of your car, you'll see the bay boundary, the double-dashed line between two separate bays. If instead of the electric charging bay, it had been double-yellow lines you would have been ticketed for being on them. So the PCN has been correctly served. Did you not check your car before you left it ? London councils make so much money from PCNs they can afford to flood the streets with CEO patrols, so it's always best to check one's car is parked OK before leaving it.

Hi,
I've received a PCN for parking in an electric vehicles' charging place, there was a van parked in front and I wanted to avoid blocking their rear doors. Expensive mistake.
Is the contravention stated on the PCN correct as I only had the back wheels in the bay behind? A more appropriate contravention code would have been "Not parked correctly within the markings of a bay"?
The vehicle is a rental and I completed the informal appeal which was rejected. The PCN status says Issued but it allows me to appeal which I presume is the formal representation. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
PCN number AO06897458
