Idle/overstay fees are fees implemented on certain chargers (by Charge Point Operators) to encourage EV users to move their vehicles after prolonged charging periods.

Idle fees are applied after the vehicle has been fully charged but has not been unplugged.

Overstay fees are applied after a specific duration (set by the Charge Point Operators).
