Kent County has no ordinance reserving or enforcing electric-vehicle charging spaces, and Michigan has no statewide statute penalizing 'ICEing' a charger. Enforcement of EV-only charging stalls depends on local ordinances and posted signs, or on private property owners.
There is no Kent County rule requiring or protecting EV charging spaces, and Michigan does not have a statewide law that fines gas vehicles for blocking a charger. State planning guidance confirms that in public rights-of-way, EV charging signage must be backed by a local ordinance that defines time limits, penalties, and enforcement — meaning any enforceable EV-only stall in Kent County exists because a specific city or township adopted it, or because a private lot owner (retailer, employer, condo) posts and enforces it. Michigan law does bar homeowners' associations from prohibiting an owner from installing EV charging equipment. If you find a charging space blocked, it is generally a matter for the property owner or, on a posted public
No county penalty. Where a municipality has adopted an EV-charging-space ordinance, violations are a local civil infraction; on private lots, enforcement is by the owner (private tow or trespass).
