A 5880 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires libraries have charging stations for plug-in electric vehicles

This bill requires public libraries to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in at least 5% of their parking spaces. It mandates that each station must support a minimum of 40 amperes and 208 volts, complying with all local electrical codes. The law applies specifically to parking facilities owned and operated by public libraries, not other government buildings. The requirement takes effect three years after the bill becomes law, with immediate rulemaking allowed to implement it.
