News comes from Australia that will probably have a global effect: among the first countries in the world, the Canberra government has enormously tightened the penalties for illegal parking in front of charging stations without using them, with a tip of the equivalent of 2,000 euros in the area of the capital (in Italy it reaches 338 euros).
The fines imposed by the Australian authorities for the illegal occupation of a charging station pitch vary according to the territories and states: 369 Australian dollars (200 euros) in Victoria, 2,200 Australian dollars (1,400 euros) in New South Wales, 2,875 Australian dollars (1,800 euros) in New South Wales Queensland and up to 3,200 Australian dollars (about 2,000 euros) in the Australian Capital Territory of Canberra.
According to Jake Whitehead, policy officer of the Electric Vehicle Council of Australia, these heavy fines have sent “a very clear and strong signal, as every available charging station is essential and valuable for the country’s fleet of around 80,000 electric vehicles and is You need to make sure they are not blocked, either intentionally or accidentally.”
