Common EV stall markings
Most properties choose some combination of:
- Solid green stall fill or green outline
- White EV charging symbol stencil
- "EV ONLY" or "EV CHARGING ONLY" lettering
- Posted signs with time limits if needed
Accessible EV charging
The U.S. Access Board has published guidance recommending that some EV charging spaces be accessible, with an access aisle and reachable charger controls. Planning this upfront avoids re-striping later.
Coordinate with the electrician
Charger pedestals, bollards and cable reach decide where stalls go. We work from the installer's plan so every stall lines up with its plug.
Frequently asked questions
Is green paint required for EV stalls?
No, but it's a common convention that makes stalls easy to spot.
Can EV stalls count toward my parking requirement?
Usually yes. Check your local bylaw.
Can you enforce EV-only parking?
Clear signs and markings make enforcement possible. Towing rules depend on local law and your signage.
