Appeals against fines handed to drivers for parking in Edinburgh council-owned electric car charging bays for too long have had a near 50 per cent success rate.
Figures obtained by a freedom of information request found that 103 overstay tickets have been cancelled by the council since penalties were introduced a year ago, out of a total 226 appeals made.
Reasons given by electric vehicle owners for disputing charges included lack of signs in car parks alerting them of the rules.
