Council hears first reading of EV-charging infrastructure bill for new multifamily and commercial development
Summary
The council introduced CB 105, which would require new or substantially renovated multifamily and commercial developments to install infrastructure to support electric-vehicle charging and authorize DPIE to set permitting guidelines.
The chair presented CB 105 20 24, an act that would require newly constructed and substantially renovated multifamily and commercial developments to install the necessary infrastructure to support electric-vehicle charging. The measure would authorize the Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) to adopt permitting guidelines, establish property-owner responsibility for charger maintenance and apply EV charging safety standards to commercial buildings.
Sponsors listed in the introduction included council members Fleguei and Ivy; the item was referred to the committee of the whole. Council Member Olson noted regional EV-charger counts during his transportation report (about 4,000 Level 2 chargers and nearly 400 DC fast chargers) and referenced a federal grant program that awarded $3,900,000 to regional charging projects.
