Gardena has no local ordinance dedicated to electric-vehicle charging parking. EV charging spaces are enforced under California Vehicle Code Section 22511, which restricts marked charging stalls to actively charging electric vehicles.
Research of the Gardena Municipal Code found no city-specific ordinance governing parking at electric-vehicle charging stations. Enforcement follows statewide California Vehicle Code Section 22511, which lets a local authority or property owner designate and mark EV charging spaces and remove vehicles not connected for charging. Under Section 22511, only an electric vehicle actively connected for charging may park in a space signed as an EV charging station; a non-EV or non-charging vehicle is subject to citation and towing. Gardena's zoning code (GMC Title 18) sets off-street parking standards for new development, and the California Building Code (CALGreen) separately requires EV-ready spaces in new construction. On-street charging installations remain subject to the 72-hour limit and street-sweeping rules of GMC Chapter 10.28.
Parking a non-electric or non-charging vehicle in a signed EV charging space is a violation under Vehicle Code 22511 and the vehicle may be removed.
