On July 9, 2021, Governor Phil Murphy signed a package of bills into law aimed at advancing New Jersey’s transition to a clean energy future to further the Administration’s goal of reaching 100% clean energy by the year 2050.
Among the bills signed was Bill S3223, which will facilitate the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure throughout the state. The bill establishes numerical requirements and zoning standards for the installation of electric vehicle supply equipment and make-ready parking spaces.
According to Lt. Governor Sheila Oliver, who serves as Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs: “In order to combat climate change and its devastating consequences, we must do all we can to make it easier for people and families to use and charge electric vehicles whether they live in a single-family home or in a multi-family dwelling. Electric vehicles are the future and everyone should have access to the environmental and economic benefits they provide.”
