Yeah, this is what they have in Winnemucca. I couldn't remember the exact wording. Thanks for the photo.It would have to be labeled like this one for you to be able to use it without a handicap placard/plate.

That was where the picture was from. Maybe the only one like it in the world?Yeah, this is what they have in Winnemucca.
Just so people understand why the handicapped spot is being put way out in the boonies, it has nothing to do with "killing 2 birds with 1 stone" as was suggested above. There was a change in California Building Code in 2016 (effective 2017-01-01) to explicitly require EV Charging Stations (EVCS) to meet Federal ADA compliance requirements, and laying out the specifics of how to do so. These rules have since been taken up by other states, also. There's a formula for how to determine the number needed and all the other considerations involved.
Here's the California State Architect's page on EVCS Accessibliity which has FAQs and other relevant links: LINK
Presentation in video below starts at close to 5m30s, but if you don't care about all the background and reasoning for why ADA applies you can probably skip to ~40 minutes in for an explanation of actual requirements:
Wow! Loved all the factual information! Thank YOU mjones!Unfortunately nearly every California 4 station supercharger that I've encountered always marks the mandatory van-accessible spot with the ISA symbol even though it isn't required (CBC 11B-812.8.1 says that the symbol isn't required) Similarly, the 5-25 spot stations don't require all of the accessible spots to be marked with the ISA symbol (CBC 11B-812.8.2)
In California, the mere presence of the symbol is grounds for a vehicle code infraction (presuming no accessibility placard or plates)
Wow! Loved all the factual information! Thank YOU mjones!
THank you.The no parking space actually supports a handicapped charging space on the other side, too. At the far left of this picture, the white Model 3 is in that space clearly marked with a handicap sign. That has the HPWC from the Tesla Store. The SuC space has the "occupy this one last" message.

The disabled accessible stalls have different requirements than other stalls. For this particular application, what's most relevant is mainly the minimum width requirement. If all the stalls were "potentially accessible" that would result in fewer charging stalls total for a given location's available space.THank you.
I think the law should update and somehow designate charging stalls needed for any particular timeline and vehicle according to handicapped spacing and distance requirements dynamically, such that any stall could be used as long as one is made available at all times that has the requisite positioning, space, etc. For instance:
