Summary
The council's committee reported favorably on CB-67-2024 and CB-105-2024 requiring EV-ready spaces and charging infrastructure in new multifamily and commercial developments; the committee voted and the bills stood introduced.
Committee reports on CB-67-2024 and CB-105-2024 described proposed requirements for minimum parking spaces with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, EV-ready spaces in new multifamily developments, and property-owner responsibilities for charging station maintenance. Raina Hightower told the council the Committee of the Whole discussed the bills extensively and voted 8-0 or 9-0 in favor as amended.
The measures would authorize the Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) to set permitting guidelines and require newly constructed or substantially renovated multifamily and commercial buildings to install necessary EV charging infrastructure. The committee noted public testimony and revisions; sponsors and additional cosponsors were listed and the bills stood introduced as draft 2.
