A new bill being considered by Pennsylvania lawmakers would make parking a gas-powered car in an EV spot fineable.
Parking a typical combustion vehicle in a spot reserved for electric vehicles could soon cost drivers up to $300.
That's because there is a bill making its way through the state's House of Representatives that would introduce fines for drivers who park illegally in sports reserved for electric vehicles.

The offending vehicle could also be towed under this legislation as well.
