[Added 4-1-2024 by Ord. No. 1909]
A. Definition.
An electric vehicle is defined according to Wis. Stats. 341.25(1)(L)1.c
as a vehicle that is propelled solely by electrical energy and that
is not capable of using gasoline, diesel fuel, or alternative fuel
to propel the vehicle.
B. Purpose.
The Village of Whitefish Bay has created electric vehicle charging
stations using public parking spaces to address the growing use of
electric vehicles and enable thc public to charge their electric vehicles
for a fee.
C. Designation
of electric vehicle parking spaces. Parking spots designated as electric
vehicle charging stations shall be marked with signage indicating
that only electric vehicles are allowed to park while actively charging
and violators will be ticketed or towed. All electric vehicle parking
spaces shall have access to an electric vehicle charging station.
D. Operation
of electric vehicle charging stations. When any vehicle shall be parked
in any parking spot designated for electric vehicle parking, the operator
shall immediately deposit or cause to be deposited payment at a rate
of $2/hour with a $2 minimum in the electric vehicle charging station.
E. Maximum
parking time. It is intended, to maximize the amount of vehicles able
to use the electric vehicle parking spaces throughout the day, to
limit the time allowed to two hours for each respective spot. Merely
depositing additional payments into the electric vehicle charging
stations will not make parking legal which is otherwise illegal as
being beyond the stated maximum time. It is the specific intention
of this chapter that no electric vehicle shall park longer than two
hours in an electric vehicle parking space.
F. Violations.
An individual is not allowed to stop, stand, or park a motor vehicle
within any parking space specifically designated as an electric vehicle
parking space unless the motor vehicle is an electric motor vehicle
as defined by Wis. Stats. 341.25(1)(L)1.c, is plugged into the adjacent
electric vehicle charging station, and is actively charging. It shall
also be a violation to allow a vehicle to be parking beyond the maximum
allowed time for each designated spot.
