Under Maryland law applied in Baltimore County, only a plug-in electric drive vehicle that is plugged into charging equipment may park in a designated EV charging space. Violators face a $100 civil penalty.
Baltimore County has no separate EV-charging parking ordinance; the statewide rule in Md. Transportation Article Section 21-1003.2 controls. Effective October 1, 2022, it prohibits any vehicle from stopping, standing, or parking in a designated plug-in electric drive vehicle charging space unless it is a plug-in electric drive vehicle plugged into the charging equipment. This 'ICE-ing' rule protects publicly accessible charging spaces that are marked by the required signage. Baltimore County follows the state Rules of the Road, so this prohibition applies on county public roads and enforced parking areas. Private properties and HOAs may add their own charging-space rules.
A person who violates the EV charging space rule is subject to a civil penalty of $100 under Md. Transportation Section 21-1003.2.
