Can you get a parking ticket for parking in an EV-only bay?
Yes, in most places where parking enforcement operates, tickets can be issued.
Marked bays which say "Electric Vehicles only" normally mean that only electric vehicles may park there whilst charging. Understandably, it can be frustrating for drivers of electric vehicles who may need to refuel their cars, to have facilities blocked by other vehicles (often referred to as "ICE'ing"). Enforcement practices will, of course, vary across the country in different parking spaces. Whenever parking, always check the conditions upon arrival.
