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 prohibits non-electric vehicles and plug-in electric vehicles that are not actively charging from occupying these designated spaces. This aims to ensure that charging stations remain accessible for electric vehicle owners, thereby promoting the use of environmentally friendly transportation options.

To enforce these regulations, the bill outlines a fine structure for violations, imposing penalties of $55 for the first offense, $100 for the second, and $200 for the third and subsequent offenses. Additionally, it grants municipalities the authority to tow vehicles that violate these provisions. By regulating the use of EV charging spaces, the bill seeks to enhance electric vehicle infrastructure and support New Jersey's transition to cleaner energy sources, ensuring that designated charging areas are effectively utilized for their intended purpose.
