District Electric Vehicle Charging Policy:
District Electric Vehicle Charging Station Regulations:
Parking in District Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations is limited exclusively to electric vehicles that are actively charging with a maximum time limit of 4 hours per vehicle. Electric vehicles do not require a parking permit while parked in a charging station and while actively charging.
After the four hour maximum time limit, any vehicle parked in an EV space is in violation and will be subject to a citation. There will be an additional $5 per hour fee, with a maximum fee of $20 per session.
“Actively charging” for the purpose of this regulation means physically plugged in to a charging station. Public Safety will only determine and investigate that an electric vehicle is connected to a charging station.
