Do hybrids get to park in electric car spaces?

I’ve noticed that around my apartment complex, my workplace, and some businesses there are priority parking spots for electric vehicles. I don’t have a fully electric car, but I drive a hybrid. Do hybrids get to utilize these spaces too?

One of the great things about buying a hybrid or
electric car
is the incentives that come with it, one of which is priority parking spaces! If you drive a hybrid, you’re entitled to use these spaces as well.
If the available parking spots include electric charging stations, you may or may not want to park there depending on whether you have a plug-in hybrid or hybrid that only charges through regenerative braking.
For example, if you’re driving a regenerative-braking-only hybrid, you wouldn’t want to take up a space with an available charger in a crowded parking lot if someone else needs to use it.
