Idaho Falls, ID Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

As of this review, the Idaho Falls City Code (Title 9, Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Regulations) does not include a chapter or section specifically regulating electric-vehicle charging stations or reserving public on-street parking spaces for EV charging. Title 9's chapters cover traffic regulations, traffic control signs, speed, public parking, snow removal parking, parking on private property, bicycles, and e-bikes/e-scooters, but there is no EV-charging chapter. Instead, electric vehicle charging in Idaho Falls is administered as a service by Idaho Falls Power, the city's municipal electric utility. Idaho Falls Power offers free Level 2 charging at its offices at 140 S. Capital Avenue and runs a commercial program in which it installs and maintains Level 2 chargers for commercial customers at a stated monthly fee, with the customer paying for the electricity used. The utility has also pursued federally funded public charging stations. Because there is no city EV-parking ordinance, general parking rules still apply to vehicles at charging stations: ordinary on-street parking restrictions in Sec. 9-4-1, the manner-of-parking rules in Sec. 9-4-6, and any posted private-lot rules at the charger's location. Drivers should follow station-specific signage, time limits, and any private-property terms where chargers are installed, and should contact Idaho Falls Power for charging-program details.
