As the other space was free I believe not.
When somebody posts that she might have stopped somebody charging on the way to hospital (really!!, a 7kw charger as it happens) then I thought more people would have a zero tolerance view.

PCN in electric car bay

I hate cowboy clampers and rouge private parking enforcers... I also hate official parking wardens...but we are supposed to be evangelists for an electric future...if this legal action resulted in all charging bays being treated as ordinary parking places, what then?
In my opinion, get the daughter to pay the fine herself, if she truly believed that a charging bay was an exclusive ev parking spot then the money you invested in her education was squandered and that’s where your legal action should concentrate

I had a not dissimilar situation.
Went to Wisley. Nice sunny day, loads of cars, car parks full, car parking was now "back of beyond". All find of course ...
Marshall directing traffic flagged me down. "Do you need to charge your car?" ... I would need to charge to be able to get home, so a couple of hours on destination-charger might well avoid that so "Yes please".
Directed me to car chargers within a short walk of the entrance. Happy days. Two chargers, one empty. Very happy days. Instruction signage to go to reception to get the "card" / initiate the charge (or something like that). Parked in the bay. Went to reception ...
"Its in use"
"No, that's the other bay"
"Only one bay working"
So I left my car there, not plugged in. Family was stood in entrance by then, move car to back-of-beyond and walk back would have been "ages".
No snotty "What twit would park in an EV bay and not charge" note on the windscreen when I returned - luckily
Checked plugshare. 2nd charging bay hadn't been working for over a year. Shame on RHS

Hahahaha! Must have missed that gem.
I believe my point stands that if you finish your charge and overstay a while then it’s just a feature of the way the system works and you had the intended benefit.
If you plugged in and eventually prevented someone else from doing so and you never charged at all then you’re denying someone a benefit for no good reason and that’s not justifiable.
I got the impression from your original post that you probably tend to agree with me anyway

You hate them! its the horse I feel sorry for!
I don't mind rouge parking enforcers though since I have a white car
To be fair to RHS they now have 8 shiny Rolec EVCharge points at Wisley. On the negative side, when I charged there I prepaid 12kWh and it only put 6 in the car. As I hadn't created an account and just done it as a guest (foolish me) I couldn't do anything about it.

yeah they told me that they were putting them in as part of the major revamp at Wisley, but for an organisation who has looking after the planet as a primary objective I told them it was poor show that they were not doing something temporary ... a couple of years not functioning is different to a couple of weeks of course
