Electric Vehicle (EV) Parking Space Designation Requirement

For the purpose of any minimum parking requirements imposed by a board of county commissioners; any parking space served by an EV charger or any parking space to site EV charging equipment must count as at least one standard automobile parking space. Similarly, any van-accessible parking space that is designed to accommodate a person in a wheelchair and is served by an EV charger, must count as at least two standard automobile spaces. This requirement does not apply to dedicated handicap spaces.

Beginning January 1, 2026, at least one EV charging space must incorporate U.S. Access Board standards at new or upgraded locations.
