A charging station consists of the charging unit itself, where you connect the charging cable of your electric car, and often also includes a pole and any markings to indicate the charging location.

At public charging stations, a specific parking space is usually assigned for charging electric vehicles. This is indicated by a marking, often with an electric vehicle symbol or a specific color code. It is important to park your car only in these designated parking spaces when you intend to charge.

However, it is worth noting that some charging stations, especially in private environments such as at home or at work, can also be installed on private parking spaces exclusively intended for the owner of the charging station and their electric vehicle. In such cases, the charging station serves as a charging point at a specific parking space assigned to the owner.

In short, a charging station itself is not a parking space, but it does indicate a specific parking space where you can park your car to charge.
