A mum has told of her anger after she received a car parking fine when her electric vehicle got stuck at a charging point.
Sue Connerty, from Merseyside, was fined £100 for staying in a two-hour maximum stay car park for an additional 38 minutes. She decided to charge her MG electric car while taking her disabled son, Alex, for a coffee.
The Echo reports that the mum-of-three went over the two-hour limit at the Central Square car park in Maghull because she was unable to detach the charging cord, which had got stuck in the car. She was forced to wait for the AA to help her free the vehicle. A week later, Sue received the fine from Euro Car Parks. She wrote to the firm to explain the unfortunate circumstances and appeal the penalty but was disgusted when she was told she still had to pay it.
