Electric Vehicle Parking Space Rounding Rules
Official: S 3740 — Specifies electric vehicle parking space calculation is rounded up if it includes fraction of a whole number and rounded-up parking spaces cannot reduce overall parking supply by more than 10 percent.
Reading: The bill clarifies and standardizes the rounding calculation for EV parking space requirements under existing NJ law, without changing the underlying mandate or stringency of EV parking provision rules.
This ensures buildings add EV charging without drastically cutting overall parking availability.
