Provides that electric vehicle supply equipment proposed for installation at certain locations does not pose specific, adverse impact upon public health or safety; removes certain existing approval requirements.
This bill (A6161) streamlines approval for installing electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at existing locations like gas stations and retail stores in New Jersey. It removes previous requirements that applicants prove compliance with bulk land use rules or prior site plan conditions. Instead, applicants must now demonstrate that the EV equipment won’t cause unmitigatable adverse health or safety impacts. The change applies to pending or new applications after enactment, allowing faster approval through standard zoning permits while maintaining a health/safety safeguard.
