The bill amends New Jersey's vehicle laws to establish regulations for parking in electric vehicle (EV) charging spaces. It introduces the definition of "Electric vehicle charging space," which refers to publicly accessible areas designated for charging plug-in electric vehicles, marked with visible signage. The legislation aims to ensure that these spaces are reserved for their intended purpose, thereby enhancing the convenience and reliability of EV charging infrastructure as the number of electric vehicles on the road continues to grow.

To enforce these regulations, the bill prohibits non-electric vehicles and plug-in electric vehicles that are not actively charging from parking in designated charging spaces. It requires that these spaces be clearly marked with signage and pavement markings visible at all times. The bill also establishes a fine structure for violations, with penalties escalating from $55 for the first offense to $200 for subsequent offenses, and allows municipalities to tow vehicles that violate these provisions. Overall, the legislation seeks to promote the use of electric vehicles and support the transition to cleaner transportation options.
