EV Charging Signs

EV Charging Signs Guide

Our range of EV charging signs has everything you need for clearly marking the reserved EV points in your parking area, and ensuring that their use is efficient. With the rapid growth in sales of electric vehicles, the demand for EV stations has never been higher.

If you find that the EV stations at your locations are in increasing demand, it will help to use mounted signage to make it clear to customers or staff that the parking spaces are only to be used during the charging period. Our quality electric car signs include the Electric Vehicle Parking While Charging Car Symbol sign and Electric Vehicle Parking While Charging Parking Symbol sign. These EV charging symbol signs highlight to customers that once their car has charged, the charging station bay needs to be vacated. EV bays are reserved parking for electric vehicle use only, and you can make this clear by displaying a sign like our Electric Vehicle Charging Point Only Sign.

Set a time limit to maximise usage of EV stations

To make sure that EVs do not sit idle in your parking area for too long once charging has finished, you can use signage to set a time limit for a car to be parked in a reserved charging station bay. Three hours is a popular parking time limit for EV charging points, with most fast chargers able to deliver a full charge in around three hours. Our maximum stay electric vehicle signs are ideal for communicating this, and are available in two options: the Vehicle Recharging Point Max Stay 3 Hours Car Symbol sign and the Vehicle Recharging Point Max 3 Hours Parking Signs.

Rapid EV charging points usually take between 30 and 60 minutes to charge an electric vehicle fully. As some EVs are not suitable for rapid charging, it is helpful to provide electric car signs at these bays to ensure that people are aware that the station is fitted with a rapid charger.

You may also want to use parking signage to set a reduced time limit for these bays so that more drivers have the opportunity to charge their electric vehicles. More efficient usage of an electric charging station and a faster turnaround time means that you will recoup the cost of your investment in the charging point more quickly.

If you would like to display electric vehicle signage with a shorter maximum parking time, look at our range of custom sign options with Custom Parking Bay Signs. Your custom signage can differentiate the standard Fast charging point from those using Rapid charging and inform customers that they need to vacate the reserved parking bay within, for example, one hour. You can also choose your preferred custom sign material and size. Using this feature will allow you to create a sign according to your exact sign needs.

Provide directions to your EV charging points

For car parking locations of a large size, your EV station may not be immediately visible on entry, so you may need to direct drivers to your electric charging station using arrow signage. Our range includes the Electric Vehicle Charging Car Symbol & Arrow Left Signs and the Electric Vehicle Charging Parking Symbol Right Signs.

Fittings and installation kits for electric vehicle signs

Our EV charging signs can be supplied with fittings so that they can be mounted to a post or wall near an EV parking point. Alternatively, you can buy EV signage with a full installation kit, so you don’t need to worry about whether existing structures at your premises are suitable for having signs mounted. We have a full electric vehicle sign range available in kit format, including the Vehicle Recharging Point – Max 3 Hours (Parking Symbol) – Car Park Sign Installation Kit.
