Macomb County has no countywide EV-charging ordinance. Michigan PA 235 of 2023 added statewide EV-charging signage to the Vehicle Code, letting local agencies penalize non-EVs that block posted chargers. In Macomb County, charging stations are sited by cities, townships, and private owners, not the county road system.
Macomb County does not operate a countywide EV-charging ordinance, and the Department of Roads does not install chargers in the county right-of-way. Under Michigan PA 235 of 2023, EV-charging spaces may be posted and enforced so non-electric vehicles blocking a charger face penalty; enforcement is by the local unit or the Sheriff in townships it polices. Public and workplace charging in Macomb County is provided by cities, by Metroparks at some park locations, and by private retail and hotel owners. Where a space is marked and posted, MCL 257.674(1)(n), barring parking where a sign prohibits it, backs the EV-only signage. Michigan does not broadly preempt HOA or apartment right-to-charge, so policies vary.
Blocking a posted EV-only charging space is a civil infraction under local ordinance and the state signage law (PA 235 of 2023 / MCL 257.674 sign provision), with fines set by the local unit and possible tow.
