PCN for parking on Electric vehicle recharging point

Hi
I received a ticket for parking on an electric vehicle charging
point. On some, it says 'electric vehicle charging point only,'
but on the one I have parked, it doesn't. I have appealed this
ticket, but Hackney rejected it
Their reply would be attached in the next post
Hopefully someone can help

PENALTY CHARGE NOTICE NUMBER: QZ22524731
VEHICLE REGISTRATION: YJ61XUN
LOCATION OF CONTRAVENTION: Kyverdale Road
DATE OF CONTRAVENTION: 21 October 2025
TIME OF CONTRAVENTION: 10:33
NATURE OF CONTRAVENTION: 14 - Parked in an electric vehicles'
charging place during restricted hours without charging
Thank you for writing to us.
We have carefully considered what you have stated, but we have
decided not to cancel your Penalty Charge Notice.
You were issued a Penalty Charge Notice for parking in a bay for
Zone T permit holders with electric vehicles to charge their
batteries. There is a sign there explaining this. Even if you
have an electric vehicle, you can only park there if you are
charging your battery.
We must advise you that a condition of use of such bays is that
the electric vehicle is on charge. The observation/grace period
of 3 minutes that the Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO) is
instructed to give for this bay is to allow residents/motorists
to access permits and other mitigating circumstances to be
determined.
In this instance, the Civil Enforcement Officer started
observing at 10:30 and issued a Penalty Charge Notice to the
vehicle at 10:33, which indicates that they were in the vicinity
of the vehicle for at least 3 minutes. We believe that 3 minutes
is sufficient time for the Civil Enforcement Officer to witness
mitigating circumstances in progress.
We have noted your comments and the circumstances that you have
described; however, you were not permitted to park in this bay
without a charge taking place and meeting the parking
requirements. Please be advised that as a motorist, it remains
your responsibility to always check the relevant sign(s) and
road markings for any space, in which you intend to park. The
motorist must ensure that they have parked in line with the
parking rules and restrictions.
Please note that the place where the contravention took place
has been checked and the signs and road markings are correct,
and compliant with the Traffic Signs Regulations and General
Directions (TSRGD) 2016 and The Traffic Management Act 2004.
We have a statutory obligation to ensure all road signage is
compliant. If you require additional information regarding the
parking restrictions within the London Borough of Hackney,
please visit our website at
HTML https://hackney.gov.uk/parkingrestrictions.
We are satisfied that the contravention has occurred. Therefore,
the Penalty Charge Notice remains enforced; however, we have
extended the discount period for a further 14 days, allowing you
to pay at the discounted rate, which will be accepted as full
and final payment for this Penalty Charge Notice.
The enclosed photos help to show why your Penalty Charge Notice
was issued.

in fact, the website they talked about is wrongly spelled the
real one is
HTML https://hackney.gov.uk/parking-restrictions,
and
there is no mention of electric charging bays

any council photos,

We need to delve into the order but this appears to be a EV bay
restricted to zone T permit holders during zone T hours - I can
see why it's confusing.
