CS-2009 SSc4.3: Alternative Transportation—Low-Emitting and Fuel-Efficient Vehicles
Our project developed, we have an underground parking garage, where 100% of the places will be operated by robotic systems.
How do we identify preferential sites for LEED credits?

Do all hybrid vehicles automatically qualify for this credit?
How should the signage read for preferred parking spaces?
For electric vehicle charging stations, how are the parameters established for fueling capacity?
I am working on a project with no parking spaces allocated. Can I earn this credit?

Are you charging to park in this garage? If so, I would think that the 20% discounted rate for qualifying vehicles makes more sense for you.

Ellen, is not charging, what can we do?
The rate is the same for everyone.
In what way can we establish preferential places?

You will have to find some way to incentivize using low emitting/fuel efficient vehicles if you want to achieve this credit. If there is a rate (it is unclear from your statement above), then you would need to discount it. If not, this may be one of those instances where this credit is just not applicable to your project.

If we establish a discount to low-emission cars, you may earn credit to encourage use.
How do we locate these places in the drawings?

If you go with a discounted rate, you won't need to have a drawing to demonstrate compliance. You will need some sort of documentation to prove that you have this discount program in place - a signed statement by the owner and/or some sort of marketing material showing how you intend to inform building occupants of the program would be a good start.
