Why the debate
Occupancy fee myths grow when responsibility is unclear. The sound move is to settle who owns what before charging starts. A clear boundary protects both sides and stops the quiet drift that becomes a loud argument later about a parked car.
What to confirm
Agree on a response time and the fee logic in writing. Treat safety as a habit, not a panic. When unsure, ask one more question. Most disputes we see came from assuming rather than confirming the terms up front with the operator.
Keeping it fair
Dongshang New Energy shows the fee as a floating part and a service part separately. Exact ranges depend on the site, so public figures are reference only. Transparent splits build trust far faster than a single mystery number on a receipt.
The fee exists to free a socket for the next driver, not to punish. When that purpose is stated plainly and the boundary is agreed, most anger disappears. A fair occupancy rule is one both sides would write themselves if asked in advance.
