The EVs must be plotted on the agreed floor plan. TIC has an obligation to inform the local fire authorities of the location of EVs within the centre when holding automotive type events.

Day Time Charging

Where EVs required to be charged then this would be encouraged to be done when the building is occupied during the day. Stands/exhibitors would be responsible for monitoring the EV whilst being charged.

Overnight Charging

The TIC will only allow the overnight charging of vehicles under the following circumstances:

» The charging point should be installed by an approved electrical contractor and signed off.

» There is overnight security within the area of EV charging.

If overnight charging is to take place whilst the building is unoccupied then it must be discussed with the Organiser, Event Manager and the venue Security Manager. All costs would be charged back to the event organisers.

All the above would be subject to a risk assessment which should be available to the venue and event organisers.
