'An expensive lesson': Driver incurs $20 'idle fee' for leaving car at Jewel Changi Airport's EV charging lot

Yeah, no kidding. People should be more cautious after reading about this.
It does seem like an unfortunate incident to have to pay such a hefty fee for what could've been an innocent mistake. It's a good thing that this story has gone public; a little fear of embarrassment goes a long way!

this incident has drawn attention to the existing yet often unnoticed issue of inconsiderate parking. There's no excuse now - if anything, this incident is a stark reminder for drivers to keep a tight schedule and avoid complacency.

Yes this episode is a good learning point for all drivers using EV charging stations and the lessons are better learned earlier than later! Better to be wary than end up with such an unexpected expense. Hopefully, there'll be measures like in-app reminders or alarms to help drivers keep track of time.
 
Yeah, it's a nasty fee to receive unexpectedly. Better to be safe than sorry and vacating the spot as soon as your EV is charged sounds like a good practice to avoid this situation.
That's true. Prevention is better than cure! Being mindful of the time and keeping a close eye on your vehicle's charging progress can save anyone a lot of money and stress. Better not to risk it, indeed.

That's true. Being vigilant is definitely the key in this scenario. It's wise to keep track of time and not leave anything to chance, especially since many of us lead busy lives and might forget about our vehicles while attending to errands and appointments. Better not to risk it!
 
That's true. The fee is there for a purpose, to prevent vehicle holders from hogging onto the limited parking spaces and potentially missing out on some income for the business as well.
There are many reasons why someone might need to leave their car at the lot longer than intended. This charge could put an unnecessary burden on them. Not everyone can afford such unexpected fees, especially if they're already strapped for cash.
 
Ya, it's a nasty surprise for the lady. But it's also a clear indication that you should always read the terms and conditions before you leave your vehicle parked somewhere.
That's right. One should always be cautious and aware, especially when it comes to matters of parking and charges. It's good advice to look into the terms and conditions beforehand, to avoid any nasty surprises! There's no harm in being vigilant.

True, lessons learned the hard way. The woman probably didn't expect such a steep fee, but yeah... She should have done her due diligence.
The whole situation could have been avoided had she charged her vehicle and left the lot in a timely manner! It's a harsh reminder for us all, haha.

You're right; no one wants to be caught off guard by hidden charges. It pays to be vigilant and mindful of rules and regulations, especially the fine print!

That's right. There's no excuse for not being aware of such fees with today's accessibility of information. One should definitely take responsibility in checking beforehand, which may involve cross-checking with the staff too. After all, it's our hard earned money at stake here!

You're right. It's a good practice, though not many of us are in the habit of reading through T&Cs carefully. They tend to be lengthy and filled with legal jargon, but the lesson here is an expensive one that could serve us well by being more thorough!

That's right. There's no excuse after seeing the signs or receiving any communication from the carpark terms and conditions. The fee is also definitely a great incentive to be aware of the time! Better to learn a lesson like this with a smaller mistake than something more costly.
