Electric vehicle charging stations in open parking lots and parking garages.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York and the New York city building code, in relation to electric vehicle charging stations in open parking lots and parking garages

This bill would require that 40% of all parking spaces in existing garages and open lots be capable of supporting electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) by 2030. This bill would also require that 10% of parking spaces in existing garages and open lots install electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) by 2030 and 20% of such spaces install EVSE by 2035. Where an existing garage or open lot undergoes an alteration, at the time of such alteration, 40% of all parking spaces must be capable of supporting EVCS. At the time of alteration, 10% of all spots must also install EVSE. For new garages and lots, 60% of all parking spaces and lots must be capable of supporting EVCS and 20% of all spots shall install EVSE.
