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 helps ensure buildings install enough EV charging infrastructure while protecting total parking availability.
In clear language
This law sets rules for how electric vehicle parking spaces are calculated in New Jersey buildings. When calculating the required number of EV spaces, fractions are rounded up to the nearest whole number, but the total rounding cannot reduce the overall parking supply by more than 10 percent. This helps ensure buildings install enough EV charging infrastructure while protecting total parking availability.
