Boulder County sets no parking-ordinance rule reserving spaces for EV charging on public roads. EV requirements instead come from the adopted building/energy codes for new construction and from parking control devices in county lots.
The county's traffic and parking ordinance does not address EV charging stalls, so there is no county citation for a gas car parking at a curbside charger on a county road. Where EV rules do exist, they come from two places: Boulder County's adopted building and green-energy codes, which require EV-ready or EV-capable circuits and parking for certain new residential and commercial construction; and, in county-owned parking lots, any posted parking control device reserving a stall (violating a lot's control device is a citable parking infraction). Cities like Boulder maintain their own EV-charging and idling-in-charger rules that apply inside city limits.
No county road-parking penalty for EV charging specifically; parking against a posted control device in a county lot is a $15/$30/$60 civil infraction. EV-readiness is enforced at building permit.
