Michigan statutorily defines EV charging station signage and prohibits non-electric vehicles from blocking designated charging spaces statewide.
MCL 257.676d makes it a civil infraction to park a non-electric vehicle in a space marked for EV charging or to occupy a charging space without actively charging when posted. The Michigan Public Service Commission also regulates EV charging tariffs under Public Act 56 of 2023, and the state sets uniform installation and metering standards that local zoning cannot contradict for utility-owned chargers.
Civil infraction with fines typically $100-$250 and possible towing under local ordinance.
