Bill > HB948

This bill amends Pennsylvania's vehicle code to establish new regulations for electric vehicle (EV) charging station parking spaces. Specifically, it prohibits non-electric vehicles from parking in spaces designated solely for EV charging, and requires that only electric vehicles that are actively charging can occupy these spaces. If a vehicle is improperly parked in an EV charging spot, it may be towed, and the owner can reclaim the vehicle by paying towing costs. The bill also updates the penalty structure, introducing a fine of $50 to $200 for violating the new EV charging station parking rule. The towing of an improperly parked vehicle is only permitted if the parking space is clearly posted with a sign indicating potential towing. These new regulations aim to ensure that EV charging stations remain available and accessible to electric vehicle owners who need to charge their vehicles. The bill will go into effect 60 days after its passage, giving time for implementation and public awareness.
