There is no strict time limit on how long a car can remain at a charging station. In most cases, electric vehicles can stay connected to a charging station for as long as it is necessary to charge the battery. This can vary depending on the specific situation and the rules that apply at the location where the charging station is situated.

However, it is important to emphasize that the policy may differ between public charging stations and those located on private grounds, such as at home or on a business premises. At public charging stations, there may be rules discouraging prolonged occupation of a charging station to give other users the opportunity to charge as well. In some cases, parking restrictions may apply, such as maximum parking duration or parking fees after charging is completed.

At charging stations on private grounds, like at home, you generally have more flexibility to leave your car at the charging station as long as necessary. However, it is still advisable not to occupy the charging station unnecessarily long so that other users also have access to charging when needed.

It is wise to consult the specific rules and guidelines applicable to the charging stations you use, whether they are public charging stations or charging stations on private grounds. These rules can vary depending on the location and the operator of the charging station.
