It is a violation of the California Vehicle Code to:
Any vehicle occupying an electric vehicle charging space without actively charging is a vehicle utilizing the space for parking and will be cited.

Effective July 1, 2024, the Sacramento City Council approved an assessement of charging fees for use of any electric vehicle ChargePoint station at all City-owned facilities. This includes libraries, community centers, parks, and parking facilities.
Charging fees are only assessed for use of EV chargers and are separate from any general parking fees. Parking fees apply for access to the parking facility.
Please check the signs and charger screen at each site for activation and rates.
Rates per kWh include current SMUD electricity rates, charging equipment maintenance costs, and ChargePoint fees.
Overstay fee: $10/hour overstay fee assessed by ChargePoint on the membership account if the vehicle remains plugged in past the posted time limit at any City-owned facility.

Charging spaces adjacent to crosshatched markings or posted with "Van Accessible" signs are open to all EV vehicles and not limited to those vehicles with DP credentials. These EV spaces are not legally restricted for the exclusive use of drivers with DP credentials nor are charging space exemptions reflected on DP placards. Time limits at EV spaces are also enforced.
Unless no other charging spaces are available, please leave these spaces available as a courtesy for EV drivers with a disability so their vehicles may access the charging space.
All vehicles utilizing an EV charging space are required to pay any applicable charging fees, regardless of whether they have a disabled person permit or not.
Effective July 1, 2025, City-owned facilities with EV chargers will offer discounted monthly parking permits that are 50% off the already discounted monthly facility rate to individual EV drivers who provide proof of either:

Electric vehicles occupying charging spaces on the street are subject to all posted regulations, including meter fees, charging rates, and time restrictions. Violation of posted signage or not utilizing the space to actively charge may result in a parking citation. The EV stations are not owned by the City of Sacramento and provided as a paid service by EV charging vendors.
Spaces that do not have charging equipment but are marked or posted for electric vehicles are EV parking spaces and may occupy the space without the requirement of actively charging. Obstruction of these spaces by other other vehicles to interfere with use of these parking spaces is a violation of the California Vehicle Code.
