Great question! Yes, Beverley Hills allows all cars to park for free, but for a limited amount of time.
Many parking lots at shopping locations and restaurants allow customers a maximum of two hours of free parking before any charges apply. Unlike its coast side cousin, Santa Monica, there is no special treatment for [electric car]

) drivers.
According to ChargeHub, there are over 122 Level 2 and 3 charging stations in Beverley Hills and 36% of them offer free charging for your vehicle. Whether the parking is free isn’t listed.
The rule for charging station use is similar: for the first two hours there is only the $0.25 per kWh fee, but after that, it’s an additional $6.00 per hour whether the car is charging or not. This is to deter drivers from hogging
EV charging stations
.
In 2018 the city mandated that only fully electric vehicles were allowed to use public charging stations which caused a backlash from hybrid and plug-in hybrid drivers. Thankfully since then the city of Beverly Hills has revoked this decision and opened charging stations up to all EV drivers.
Beverly Hills parking plays no favorites and neither does car insurance. Whether your car runs on gasoline or electric poweryou always need insurance.
