Erie County has no countywide ordinance restricting electric-vehicle charging or reserving EV parking spaces on public streets. EV-station siting and any parking-space reservations are handled by municipalities and New York State building and energy codes.
There is no Erie County parking ordinance dedicated to electric-vehicle charging or to penalizing non-EVs parked in charging stalls. Requirements to install EV charging in new construction or parking lots come from the New York State building and energy codes, and any reserved or time-limited charging-stall rules on public streets are adopted by the town, city, or village. Erie County operates charging stations at some of its own facilities as an amenity, but that is a facility policy rather than a countywide law. Private lots and workplaces set their own charging-stall rules. For public on-street EV parking enforcement or new station installation, contact your municipality and consult the state building code.
Misuse of a public charging stall is enforced under municipal rules where they exist; the county sets no countywide EV-parking penalty.
