Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Make-Ready Requirements for Multifamily Housing (MFH)

New or reconstructed MFH developments with five or more units must designate 15% of required off-street parking as EV make-ready parking spaces, in proportion to new or reconstructed MFH. Prior to occupancy, EV chargers must be installed in 5% of off-street parking. MFH must then install EV chargers in an additional 5% of parking spaces within 3 years of occupancy and another 5% within 6 years of occupancy. MFH may install make-ready parking spaces and EV chargers at a faster rate than required. Throughout the installation of EV chargers in make-ready parking spaces at multifamily housing, at least 5% of EV chargers must be accessible for people with disabilities. Additional terms and conditions apply.
