The definitions given in this section govern the construction of this Article:

An "Electric Vehicle (EV)"

shall be defined as any motor vehicle registered to operate on California public roadways and operates either partially or exclusively on electrical energy from the grid, or an off-board source, that is stored on-board for motive purpose. Electric vehicle includes: (1) a battery electric vehicle (BEV); (2) a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV); (3) a neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV); (4) an electric motorcycle.

"Charging"

shall mean an electric vehicle parked at an electric vehicle charging station that is electrically connected to the charging station equipment.

"Electric Vehicle Charging Station (EVCS)"

shall mean a public parking space that is served by battery charging station equipment that has as its primary purpose the transfer of electric energy (by conductive or inductive means) to a battery or other energy storage device in a plug-in electric vehicle.

Each electric vehicle parking stall will be clearly marked with signage. When so marked, it is unlawful to park in a designated electric vehicle charging station parking stall unless the vehicle is actively charging.

Fees will be charged for electric vehicle charging in conformance with the latest adopted Title 6, Chapter 4, Section 6.4.100 of the San Leandro Administrative Code. In order to encourage and facilitate maximum usage of the charging station, fees will be charged in two tiers. The first four hours of charging will be at the initial rate, and shall be the first tier; any hour or portion of an hour beyond four hours will be charged at the rate specified in the City user fees and service charges, and shall be the second tier.
