Why EV Charging Station Companies are Turning to Intelli-Park

The Race to Roll Out Public Charging is on.

Landlords, retailers and operators are comparing EV charging station companies, planning new bays and exploring funding models. Getting chargers installed may feel like the major milestone, but in reality, installation is only the beginning.

However, without the right monitoring and enforcement, drivers can quickly block or misuse EV bays. As a result, customers become frustrated and returns drop on what should be a long-term infrastructure investment.

At Intelli-Park, we work alongside leading EV charging station companies and specialist installers. We then integrate smart ANPR technology to protect each asset and ensure bays operate exactly as intended.

The Problem EV Charging Station Companies cannot Solve Alone 

Most conversations about EV charging focus on hardware: how many sockets, what kW rating, what footprint. Yet some of the biggest issues for drivers are nothing to do with the charger itself. 

Recent research highlights the scale of the challenge: 

• Confused.com found that nearly a third of EV drivers have turned up to charge only to find bays blocked by non-EV vehicles or cars not actually charging. (Retail Times) 

• Freedom of Information data analysed by cinch shows more than 161,000 fines have been issued for EV charging bay misuse since 2020, with almost 4,800 penalties now issued every month in 2025. (Cinch) 

The pattern is clear. New charging hubs go live, but bays are quickly abused or blocked. Drivers lose confidence, usage drops and site owners see slower payback on their investment. 

This is where choosing the right EV charging station companies is only part of the answer. You also need a partner that can manage access, keep bays free for genuine EV drivers and provide the data to optimise performance. 

Working with Leading EV Charger Companies and Installers 

We partner with accredited installers, so you get the right hardware and commercial model for your site. Our role is to make the whole project straightforward and ensure all elements of installation are considered and protected. 

We help you: 

• Plan layouts so EV bays work with the rest of your parking 

• Coordinate with installers and DNOs so there’s a single, joined-up programme 

• Put clear signage and bay markings in place from day one 

• Connect chargers to our ANPR systems for live monitoring and enforcement 

The aim in simple; your EV chargers deliver best-in-class infrastructure. Intelli-Park ensures the chargers are used by the right vehicles, at the right time, in line with the rules you set. 

Keeping EV Bays for EV drivers with eCam and View360 

Once chargers are live, our eCam and View360 solutions take over to keep bays compliant and available. 

eCam: Solar-powered ANPR for Flexible EV sites 

Intelli-Park’s solar-powered ANPR solution, eCam provides 24/7 monitoring without complex civil works or external power feeds. eCam It is ideal for: 

• Smaller EV hubs or mixed-use sites 

• Car parks where running power to every camera is impractical 

• Landlords who need fast deployment with minimal disruption 

eCam reads vehicle number plates as they arrive and leave. Where sites are signed as EV-only or time-limited for charging, our system flags non-EV vehicles and overstays. Depending on your policy, it can trigger alerts or issue Parking Charge Notices (PCNs) through our enforcement partners. 

View360: AI-powered Monitoring for Busy Charging Hubs 

For larger locations, View360 provides full 360-degree, long-range monitoring from a single AI-driven camera, helping operators cover more ground with fewer devices.  

When integrated with EV charging bays, View360 can: 

• Monitor multiple EV bays and access roads from one vantage point 

• Confirm whether vehicles in EV bays are actively charging 

• Apply custom rules for stay limits, grace periods and tariffs 

• Automate enforcement so bays turn over as intended 

View360 ensures that EV bays remain available for the drivers who rely on them, rather than becoming general parking spaces. 

Why Enforcement Matters for Revenue, not just Compliance 

Protecting EV bays is not only about fairness or policy. It’s a commercial issue. 

When non-EV vehicles occupy bays, the impact for site owners and charging operators includes: 

• Fewer completed charging sessions per day 

• Lower energy throughput and revenue 

• Poorer driver reviews and weaker repeat usage 

• Longer payback periods on capital investment 

By contrast, when EV bays are actively managed, utilisation improves and both parking income and charging revenue rise. Smart enforcement turns chargers from static assets into high-performing sites that support your wider sustainability and customer experience goals. 

Proof in Practice: our Partnership with PoGo Charge 

A recent partnership with ultra-rapid charging network PoGo Charge shows how this works in the real world. 

PoGo has selected Intelli-Park to deploy ANPR cameras and ticketing systems across key locations to tackle ICEing, where petrol or diesel vehicles block EV charging bays. (PoGo Charge) 

At PoGo’s busy Cwmbran town centre hub, which features 16 ultra-rapid 200 kW charging bays, ongoing misuse had been limiting access for genuine EV drivers. By integrating Intelli-Park’s View360 platform and ANPR technology: 

• EV bays are clearly designated for active charging only 

• Non-EV vehicles that park in those spaces can receive PCNs 

• EV drivers are given a clear, fair time window to charge 

This combination of infrastructure from a leading EV charging station company and enforcement technology from Intelli-Park helps keep high-value chargers free, reliable and commercially viable. It also delivers a better, more predictable experience for drivers who depend on rapid charging while they shop, work or travel. (Traffic Technology Today) 

Choosing an EV Charging Station Company is Step One. Managing Usage is Step Two. 

If you are comparing EV charging station companies for your next project, it pays to think beyond installation. The most successful sites combine high-quality charging hardware with intelligent, always-on bay management. 

Intelli-Park can: 

• Work alongside your chosen EV charging station companies and installers 

• Deploy eCam and View360 to protect EV bays and prevent ICEing 

• Provide data and dashboards that show how your bays are performing over time
