Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal adds a section to the Traffic Ordinance defining an "electric vehicle" as a vehicle powered by an electric motor only. It authorizes local authorities to mark parking spaces designated for electric vehicles next to public charging stations. The proposal establishes a prohibition on stopping or parking a vehicle that is not electric in a parking space marked as such. The explanatory notes state that this proposal is a response to congestion at public charging stations that are blocked by vehicles that are not charging.
