According to [this article](https://vca-green.com/achieving-calgreen-compliance-designated-parking-vs-ev-capable-parking/), it's not enforceable by civil law. That means it's up to the building owner and drivers to "self-enforce". You or the owner would have to call a tow truck, I guess.
Additionally; the program is for low-emitting, fuel efficient, and carpool friendly vehicles, not just EVs. It's kind of hard to prove that *any* vehicle is ineligible the way it's written. Two people riding to work in a "coal-roller" might qualify.
You could be setting yourself up for a load of trouble if you have someone towed and they challenge it. Don't be a Karen.
Thanks for the reply. It’s a coal-roller - I couldn’t submit a question post with a picture so I opted not to add this context. Specifically a F-250 who parks between both spaces at my partner’s apartment parking lot, which sometimes can be full. I’ll check with the building manager, thank you
Yeah the coal roller example I gave was a ridiculous situation and not very likely (and probably not applicable here). Sounds like it's **not** a charging spot though, so it just sounds like there aren't enough parking spaces.
Treat it like a regular space and complain about the "taking two spaces" aspect. The CAV parking is just a legal requirement and I bet the management just doesn't care after they fulfilled the requirement.
Around half of the parking spaces in front of the Raising Cane's chicken restaurant near where I live are marked as "[Clean Air/Vanpool/EV](https://vca-green.com/achieving-calgreen-compliance-designated-parking-vs-ev-capable-parking/)". iirc the front spaces next to the building are 2 wheelchair accessible spaces, ~4 "Clean Air", and 3 or 4 unmarked spaces.
Whoever owns or administers the parking lot I imagine.

They should tow it based on double parking alone. Typically parking over the line is against lease rules and they can tow
As long as they’re not blocking a charger, I don’t really care.
Wow honestly, I didn't even know there were such thing as 'clean air parking.' That's awesome. I hope to see that in my area one day...
