I’ve heard some people treat it as a disabled space, but some who treat it as an electric vehicle charging space first, but it’s “also accessible.” What parking authority is allowed to cite these spaces?

In California, technically any charging space that is for ADA placards only will have the blue signage and stenciling (ISA). These should not be confused with charging spaces that are ADA dimensioned and CAN be used by non placard vehicles.
Enforcement is up to the parking space owner and the public. If it’s a municipal parking space including street parking, a meter maid or similar can ticket you. If the space is owned by a building owner, a meter maid or similar AND the building owner may ticket or fine you.
Also, while typically targeting building and business owners, complaints about meeting ADA requirements can be brought through a lawsuit by ANYONE. I’ve never heard of one brought for parking illegally, but it behooves building owners to get this correct EVEN if an inspector signs off on it.
