Charging Station
The sign indicates a charging station for electric vehicles
When You See This Sign
When you see T24 together with a parking or information sign it means the space is reserved for vehicles during active charging. Only park if you start charging and respect any times or fees indicated on the main sign; move the car when charging is complete.
Rules & Regulations
- T24 is a supplementary sign indicating that the space is intended for charging electric vehicles and is usually used together with a main sign (e.g., a parking sign).
- Only vehicles that are connected and charging may use the marked charging space; parking without active charging is not permitted.
- Conditions such as time limits, fees, or other restrictions are indicated by the main sign above or in connection with T24 and must be followed.
- When the space is in use, the charging equipment and cable must be used so that they do not obstruct pedestrians or create a hazard; blocking may result in penalties.
Tips for Drivers
- Make sure your car is actually charging (indicator on the car or charging unit) before you leave the space — otherwise it will be considered unauthorized parking.
- Always follow the time limits and payment rules indicated by the main sign and move the car as soon as charging is finished so as not to obstruct others.
- Park so that the cable does not lie across the sidewalk or in the way of other vehicles and leave access to the charging post for the next user.
- If you have a plug-in hybrid, make sure it is connected and charging if you use the space; merely being parked there is not enough.
Common Mistakes
- Thinking that the sign grants general parking rights even if the vehicle is not connected to charging.
- Assuming that only pure electric cars may park there when plug-in hybrids are actually allowed if they are connected and charging.
- Failing to check the main sign for time limits or fees and staying longer than allowed.

Exam Tip
On the theory test the question may try to trick you by asking whether T24 grants general parking rights or if only electric cars may park there. Correct answer: the space is intended for vehicles that are actively charging and conditions such as time/fee are given by the main sign.
Did You Know?
T24 was introduced alongside the expansion of charging infrastructure and is often seen at shopping centers, workplaces, and station-adjacent parking to facilitate quick turnover and better use of charging posts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I park in a charging space without charging?
No. The charging space is intended for vehicles that are connected and charging. Parking there without charging can lead to fines or towing depending on local rules.
Does the sign also apply to plug-in hybrids?
Yes, as long as the vehicle is actually connected and charging. The sign does not distinguish between types of electric vehicles — the important thing is that active charging is taking place.
Do I need to pay or use a parking disc at a charging space?
It depends on the main sign that T24 complements. T24 only shows that the space is for charging; fees and time limits are indicated by the primary parking sign.
