A man who paid £35 to charge his electric car while having lunch at a McDonald's later received a fine for £100. Amar Tanna, 36, drove to the McDonald's and found the branch's car recharging station was being used, so decided to eat his lunch first and then charge his car afterwards.
He said: "The rate they were charging was extortionate as it was - twice the cost of electricity I'd paid before while charging my car. But I needed to charge it up or I wouldn't be able to get home."#
But Amar didn't realise that the limit for staying in the car park is 90 minutes - even if you are using the charger, reports LeicestershireLive.
