Fishers, IN Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

Research of the City of Fishers Code of Ordinances and Indiana state law did not identify a specific ordinance or statute that reserves public parking spaces for electric-vehicle charging or that fines a non-electric (or non-charging) vehicle for occupying a charging space. Indiana is not among the states that have enacted laws prohibiting other vehicles from blocking EV charging stations; the state's EV-related statutes focus on charging infrastructure, utility regulation, and the definition of electric vehicle supply equipment rather than on parking enforcement at charging spaces. As a result, in Fishers the availability and time limits at a charging station are typically controlled by the owner or operator of the lot or garage (for example, a retailer, employer, or public-facility operator) through posted signage and private rules. On private business property, Indiana law does allow a city or county to adopt an ordinance to enforce posted parking and traffic regulations under a contract with the property owner, which is the mechanism that would most likely support enforcement of a privately signed EV-charging space. Drivers using public chargers should follow the posted signs at each location and any time limits set by the station operator, since general Chapter 72 parking rules still apply to where a vehicle may legally stand.
