not to charge.
So you did what and when?
Drove off after 2-3 minutes, stayed without charging or what?

Have you obtained the DVD from TfL, see top of page 2 of PCN?
Your name and address are visible in the PCN, you might wish to
redact and repost.

Pl take us through the process. For example, how did you know
you needed an app(which app?) without exiting the car and
reading the use instructions?
There is a conditional exception to the No Stopping restriction
and this is that a vehicle must be charging for no more than an
hour. I will bet my children's inheritance on the traffic order
not attempting to deal with the process of how one charges after
coming to a stop and that TfL officers put their own spin on
what's acceptable.
But this might not be an issue. Clearly you stopped and did not
charge therefore prima facie a contravention occurred. I bet
they haven't even checked whether your car is an EV, so simple
reps to this effect might be all that's necessary.
But let's see what other facts you have e.g. the process etc.
