Requires DOT to ensure electric vehicle charging stations are accessible to disabled drivers.
This New Jersey bill (A 3743) requires all newly installed electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to be accessible to drivers with disabilities, directly affecting charging station operators and the Department of Transportation (DOT). It mandates specific physical features like 11-foot-wide vehicle charging spaces with 5-foot access aisles, ADA-compliant routes, and accessible communication features (including payment systems and charger controls). The law requires new stations to meet these standards within 18 months of enactment, while allowing flexibility for existing stations to comply where feasible. The bill ensures EV charging infrastructure accommodates people using wheelchairs, canes, scooters, or walkers, aligning with federal ADA and ABA accessibility standards.
