     9  vehicle  disconnected  from the electric vehicle charging station for no
    10  more than thirty continuous minutes while stopped, standing or parked in
    11  such designated space shall not be in violation  of  this  subparagraph.
    12  Parking spaces designated for the exclusive purpose of charging an elec-
