I’ve heard some people treat it as a disabled space, but some who treat it as an electric vehicle charging space first, but it’s “also accessible.” What parking authority is allowed to cite these spaces?

Dunno about other states: In California it’s unambiguous, if it is marked handicapped and EV parking, you need disabled plates (or tag) AND you have to be plugged in.
The police. If the parking space is on private property (like a business), the property owner can have you towed (though I’ve never heard of that happening).
Absolutely wrong on California. If you are charging an EV, you can use any spot, disabled or not. They have clarified this.
In CA and was cited for this 2 weeks ago. I’m currently appealing it based on CA Governors advisement from '12 that these dual use spaces should be primarily for ev charging. I’ll let you know how it goes. For those that think I’m some kind of monster; I saw these spots and researched how they’re supposed to be used before I ever parked and charged there. Apparently the security for the property owner feels the opposite.
Regardless of how this turns out I won’t be parkingin these spots again. I don’t need the aggravation or risk the $410 fine.
