Democrats push through legislation that would require new residential buildings be outfitted with wiring that allows EV charging stations for homeowners

The “Electric Vehicle Charging Act,” passed by the state House Thursday on a party-line 69-38 vote after earlier approval by the Senate, requires that new single-family or small multifamily homes offer at least “one EV-capable parking space for each residential unit that has dedicated parking.” A large multifamily residential building must “have 100% of its total parking spaces EV-capable.
Weaver expressed concern that the costs stemming from the measure would unnecessarily raise the cost of new homes for those without EVs.
