A 582 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Amends certain requirements for installation of electric vehicle supply equipment and Make-Ready parking spaces.

This New Jersey bill requires new and reconstructed apartment buildings with five or more units to prepare 15% of parking spaces as "Make-Ready" (pre-wired for electric vehicle charging) and install charging equipment in one-third of those spaces within three years of occupancy, with additional installations over six years. Parking lots with 50+ spaces must include a minimum number of Make-Ready spaces based on total parking capacity, with 5% of charging stations required to be accessible for people with disabilities. The law exempts low-income housing developments, single-family homes, and small retailers with 25 or fewer parking spaces. Make-Ready spaces count as two parking spaces for compliance purposes, and the bill establishes a model ordinance for implementation.
