EV Bay Markings for Every Environment

Whether you're trying to mark out a single charging point or an entire car park with EV markings, we've got a solution that should fit the bill.

Retail and Shopping Center EV Markings

High visibility EV charging bay markings are really a must have for big busy retail parking spots. Putting a blue background with some white boundary lines up is a great way to get maximum contrast in the area where EV drivers are charging. The classic design we see a lot of is green background, white lines and a picture of an electric car charging - it's a pretty straightforward visual cue for EV drivers to where the charging spots are. At the same time you get durable, non-slip, heat-applied thermoplastic materials that'll stand up to heavy traffic - all while keeping a really professional look.

Office and Business Park Charging Bays

Professional blue & white colour schemes are a perfect fit for corporate environments found in business parks. They enclose each parking space with a crisp white thermoplastic line that shows exactly where the parking space starts & ends and sets the outer bounds. Different parking layouts are used for fleet charging areas - these can easily be custom made to fit the charging cables & leave enough space around them for safe access.

Public and Municipal Charging Points

If you're looking to set up EV charging bays in public car parks, the law says you need clear white or green paint with an electric plug symbol & associated signs to make them legal. For local councils to make on street EV charging points count, they need to be in line with national rules. Those regulations are laid out in the TSRGD and you need to make sure your EV charging points meet all the local rules.

Choose the Right Design and Colours for Your EV Bays

Using the right colour scheme & design will not only make the charging bays easy to see. There isn't no specific national rules about the colours to use for EV bay markings, but a strong blue with white boundary lines & a white EV charging logo is the way to go - that's what gets the best contrast.

Classic Blue and White EV Markings

A standard blue background painted with crisp white lines creates a pretty stark contrast that makes parking bays stand out really well. Plus, a lot of bays are also picked out with bright green or blue anti-slip coatings, which makes them super obvious. This particular colour combo is recommended by the industry and works well in all sorts of parking environments.

Green Background Options

You can also use a green background with white markings if you want to go for a more eco-friendly vibe - and thats proving to be a pretty popular choice for electric car charging points. Private land doesn't actually have to follow any specific rules in the UK when it comes to layout or colour though - so on that you can generally rely on following the best practices to get high - visibility.

Custom Colour Variations

Different blues can also help you fit in with company branding while still keeping the visibility in line. EV bays should be pretty easily distinguishable from other bays by signage, the charging stations symbols and of course colour so that drivers and pedestrians know whats what.

Professional Materials and Installation Methods

Electric vehicle charging bays - and this is obvious - need to be reliable in all kinds of weather though.

First things first you need to get the measuring bit right when marking out an electric car charging bay and standard is usually a 2.4 by 4.7 meter space. Once youve got those measurements you string up lines to get the bay outlined nice and straight ready for the next stage which is getting the paint on. A four inch roller is pretty useful for making sure your borders are sharp and tidy. With that done and the background painted you paint in the EV logo right slap bang in the middle so people really cant miss it. And finally you add the edge lines so that you've got a clear boundary to the bay.

High-performance, long-lasting coatings such as thermoplastic or MMA which are tough as nails are a must for anything that needs to last. If you want to make public infrastructure accessible to everyone, planners should just use the design specs from the Energy Saving Trust’s PAS 1899 standard - it’s the national benchmark after all. For accessible EV bays you need a minimum size of 4000mm wide by 6600mm long, and that includes clear painted zones alongside of 1600mm & a 1200mm marked access zone at the back.

Lettering and Text Variations for EV Bays

Simple clear language so people know what they're doing is really important. Electric vehicle charging bay signs help by making it clear where the spaces are for charging electric & hybrid vehicles, and keeping diesel cars out. It's just one of those things that makes life easier.

You want it to be nice & clear with the words "EV Charging" in white on a blue background. And then throw in some "EV Only" text in bold. This stops people using the bays for anything else, and helps operators make sure people are doing the right thing. That way they can issue a penalty to anyone not actually charging.

Clear signage does a lot to lower the risk of Internal Combustion Engine vehicles ending up parked in and blocking vital charging infrastructure. You see high-contrast signs really do help drivers spot charging points - especially in places where there's a lot going on, and this means we get the most out of the charging points.
