MK: Parking or EV charging related

Posted by TacticalObserver@reddit | miltonkeynes | View on Reddit | 3 comments

Hey everyone, I'm new to EVs and also new to Milton Keynes. I parked near this spot (https://maps.app.goo.gl/8wEZn6DfC3JEuWyC7) in central MK, while visiting the shopping centre and paid £2 for 2 hours on a Sunday. I noticed there’s an EV charging bay nearby too.

Just wondering—if I park there to charge my EV, do I still need to pay the regular parking fee as well?

Thanks in advance!

yes you do as the 2 aren't linked

What did the sign say? Something that made absolutely no sense I expect and next another sign that contradicted is no doubt.

I have asked someone in the council and they said you don't need to pay while charging but I doubt even they know for sure.

Yes you do. The signs should explain it, and you can also look for the purple or red lines on the ground in front of the spaces which also indicate the parking rate. There used to be some spaces around the shopping centre where you wouldn't need to pay, but I think they've gotten rid of them all now.
