County Ordinance 626 governs electric-vehicle charging stalls in county parking facilities. It prohibits parking a non-EV in a charging stall, and parking an EV in a charging stall while not actively charging or after charging completes. Charging fees and a $53 violation fine apply.
Electric-vehicle charging is regulated within county-owned parking facilities by County Ordinance 626 (County Parking Facilities), which applies to lots and structures posted with the Ordinance 626 signage. An 'electric vehicle charging stall' is defined as a marked parking stall with an installed device or station that provides power to charge an electric vehicle's batteries. Section 9 lists prohibited activities: subsection (r) bars parking a non-electric vehicle in an EV charging stall, and subsection (s) bars parking any vehicle in an EV charging stall while not charging or after charging has been completed. The ordinance even contemplates that on-duty county employees should not park in public-only areas unless parked in an EV charging space while actively charging. Section 15 sets the county's EV charging fees: Level 2 chargers at $0.34 per kWh, with a $2.00 per hour fee after the four-hour maximum charging limit is reached; and DC fast chargers at $0.35 per kWh, with a $0.50 per minute fee after the 30-minute maximum charging limit. These rules apply to the county's own facilities; the county does not impose a separate ordinance on private home or shopping-center EV stations beyond state law. Note Ordinance 626 here refers to the County Parking Facilities ordinance, distinct from the street-parking Ordinance 413.
Under Section 13, a violation of the general Section 9 prohibitions (including the EV charging-stall rules) carries a $53 fine and possible revocation of a parking access device; vehicles may be removed under Vehicle Code Section 22658.
