Electric Vehicle Parking Space Rounding Rules
Official: A 4375 — 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 calculation method for electric vehicle parking space requirements under existing NJ EV parking mandates, without expanding or reducing the underlying obligation.
This law passed both the Assembly and Senate in 2026.
In clear language
New Jersey is clarifying how parking spaces reserved for electric vehicles should be calculated and rounded when building or renovating parking areas. The rule says if your EV parking calculation comes out to a fraction (like 4.5 spaces), you round up to the next whole number (5 spaces). However, these additional EV spaces cannot reduce your total parking supply by more than 10 percent. This law passed both the Assembly and Senate in 2026.
