A 3035 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits certain vehicles from parking in electric vehicle charging spaces under certain circumstances.*

This bill prohibits non-electric vehicles from parking in electric vehicle charging spaces when those spaces are clearly marked with three specific indicators: that they're for electric vehicle charging, that they're designated exclusively for electric vehicle charging, and that violations are subject to penalties. It amends existing parking regulations to add this new restriction, defining "electric vehicle charging location" as publicly accessible parking spaces with visible signage for charging plug-in electric vehicles. Violating this provision would result in a fine of up to $50 or up to 15 days in jail, or both. The bill directly affects drivers of non-electric vehicles who might park in these spaces and electric vehicle drivers who rely on these designated areas for charging their vehicles.
