PCN code 14: parked in an electric vehicles' charging place during restricted hours without charging
What this contravention code means, and how to appeal it · On-Street
Code 14 means the council or TfL recorded your vehicle as parked in an electric vehicles' charging place during restricted hours without charging. A valid permit or payment that simply didn't show, or signage that wasn't clear at the time, is a real basis to challenge this rather than pay it.
Full description on the ticket: “Parked in an electric vehicles' charging place during restricted hours without charging.”
Letter after the code, like 14a?
A letter after the number narrows down the exact circumstances: a means permit holder only electric vehicle charging bay, y means electric solo motorcycle bay, 8 means zero emission capable taxis only, 9 means electric vehicle car club bay. We factor the exact suffix into your letter automatically.
Can I appeal this?
Yes. This is a statutory Penalty Charge Notice from a council or TfL, not a private charge, so you have a formal right to challenge it before it escalates into a Charge Certificate.
