"Time Limits Apply"
I assume they mean the standard 2 hour limit during business hours?
Since we've had our car I've noticed it way too often. Just ignorant people. In a way I wish EV charging companies would put the chargers in the back of a lot. With it in the front, the inconsiderate people don't think anything about parking in the charging spots.
The SD zoo is a Greta example of being ICE'd. 6 chargers and 2 leafs were charging and the rest (both sides are accessible) were ICE'd.
Blink has some notes you can print out and place on people windshield telling them they parked at an EV spot and you are not ale to charge.
One other concern I have is Volt drivers. I see more spots taken and blocked all day by volt drivers than any other car. Personally I think they are not helping the EV revolution by always taking the charging spots. What will happen when multiple EV's start not being able to charge when the volt hybrid is blocking the chargers. Kind of seems great for the oil companies to keep volt drivers parked at charging spots and not allow true EV drivers to charge.

If it's charging, the Volt has a legit reason to be parked in that spot. But as said in other threads on this topic, the simple solution is to start charging money for parking in those spots.
EV parking priority
Of course, I have a sneaking suspicion that most Model S's in those spaces don't really need to be there either. Since all existing cars are 85kWh I find it hard to believe they really need to recharge during the day. Having free prime spots encourages people to park there whether they need to or not.
