S 4062 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DCA to review and amend State Uniform Construction Code concerning parking structures to address increased weight of electric vehicles.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to update construction codes for parking structures to accommodate the heavier weight of electric vehicles (EVs). For new parking structures, it mandates minimum 10% EV parking spaces, weight requirements for EVs, charger installation standards, and load distribution planning. For existing structures, it requires DCA to review load capacity, establish monitoring systems, and compel owners to fix structural deficiencies within 90 days or face closure. The changes aim to ensure safety as EV adoption grows, affecting all parking structure developers and owners statewide.
