JOOI, I checked on the map and the nearest point (by miles) looks to
have been offline for months.

Who typically 'police' these 'Electric Vehicles Only' bays to ensure
that non electric cars don't block them up, as who would risk driving
to one if nothing can be done about it if the bay was so occupied?

Personally ... unless there was a *very* good reason for blocking a
restricted bay (like you were having a heart attack and were
subsequently taken to hospital by ambulance), your car should be taken
away, sold (or scrapped) and the funds given to the first person who
needed legitimate access to that space who reported it. ;-)
