Good signage helps you find the charger, understand the rules, and navigate the site safely.
- Directional signs from the road — you shouldn't have to drive around looking for the charger
- Stall markings — clear painted lines and access aisle markings
- High-contrast text and icons — readable in low light and for people with low vision
- Charging rules clearly posted — fees, connector types, and app requirements visible before you get out
- Plain-language signage — especially valuable in communities where English may not be the first language
If you have to get out of your vehicle to find out whether a charger is working or what connector it uses — that is a design failure, not a user error. Key information should be visible from the driver's seat.
