Davis has no unique EV-space parking ordinance; California Vehicle Code 22511 governs. Only vehicles connected and charging may occupy a designated EV charging space, and violators face a state fine plus any posted local time limits.
The Davis Municipal Code has no standalone ordinance setting time limits or fines for electric-vehicle charging spaces. Enforcement relies on California Vehicle Code Section 22511, under which local authorities and off-street lot owners may designate spaces for the exclusive purpose of charging an electric vehicle. A vehicle may occupy such a space only while connected for charging; a non-charging or non-EV vehicle parked there is subject to a state fine of $100 plus any additional local penalties and posted time limits. Davis supports EV adoption and maintains public charging locations, but charging-space rules at those sites are governed by state law and signage posted at each location, not a distinct city code section.
Parking a non-electric vehicle, or an EV not connected for charging, in a designated EV charging space violates California Vehicle Code 22511 and is subject to a $100 fine plus local penalties.
