Purpose. The purpose of this section is to promote the safe, effective and efficient use of small wind energy systems and solar energy systems to reduce the on-site consumption of utility supplied electricity.
A. 
The following apply:
(1) 
Wind and solar energy are abundant, renewable, and nonpolluting energy resources.
(2) 
Converting wind and solar rays to electricity will reduce our dependence on nonrenewable energy resources, and decrease air and water pollution that results from the use of conventional energy sources.

Distributed small wind energy systems will also enhance the reliability and power quality of the power grid, reduce peak power demands, and help diversify the state's energy supply portfolio.
(4) 
Small wind energy systems and solar energy systems make the electricity supply market more competitive by promoting customer choice.
(5) 
The Municipal Land Use Law provides that part of the intent and purpose of the Act is to promote the utilization of renewable energy resources (N.J.S.A. 40:D-2.n).

A. 
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to promote and encourage the use of electric vehicles by requiring the safe and efficient installation of EVSE and make-ready parking spaces through municipal parking regulations and other standards. EVSE and make-ready parking spaces will support the state's transition to an electric transportation sector, reducing automobile air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and stormwater runoff contaminants. The goals are to:
(1) 
Provide adequate and convenient EVSE and make-ready parking spaces to serve the needs of the traveling public.
(2) 
Provide opportunities for residents to have safe and efficient personal EVSE located at or near their place of residence.
(3) 
Provide the opportunity for nonresidential uses to supply EVSE to their customers and employees.
(4) 
Create standard criteria to encourage and promote safe, efficient, and cost-effective electric vehicle charging opportunities in all zones and settings for convenience of service to those that use electric vehicles.
B. 
Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY
The certificate provided for in N.J.A.C. 5:23-2, indicating that the construction authorized by the construction permit has been completed in accordance with the construction permit, the act and the regulations. See "State Uniform Construction Code Act," P.L. 1975, c. 217 (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-119 et seq.), and regulations adopted pursuant thereto.
CHARGING LEVEL
The amount of voltage provided to charge an electric vehicle varies depending on the type of EVSE as follows:
(1) 
Level 1 operates on a fifteen-to-twenty-amp breaker on a 120-volt AC circuit.
(2) 
Level 2 operates on a forty-to-one-hundred-amp breaker on a 208- or 240-volt AC circuit.
(3) 
Direct-current fast charger (DCFC) operates on a sixty-amp-or-higher breaker on a 480-volt-or-higher three-phase circuit with special grounding equipment. DCFC stations can also be referred to as rapid charging stations that are typically characterized by industrial-grade electrical outlets that allow for faster recharging of electric vehicles.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Any vehicle that is licensed and registered for operation on public and private highways, roads, and streets; and operates either partially or exclusively using an electric motor powered by an externally charged on-board battery.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE SUPPLY/SERVICE EQUIPMENT or (EVSE)
The equipment, including the cables, cords, conductors, connectors, couplers, enclosures, attachment plugs, power outlets, power electronics, transformer, switchgear, switches and controls, network interfaces, point of sale equipment, and associated apparatus designed and used for the purpose of transferring energy from the electric supply system to a plug-in electric vehicle. "EVSE" may deliver either alternating current or, consistent with fast-charging equipment standards, direct current electricity. "EVSE" is synonymous with "electric vehicle charging station."
MAKE-READY PARKING SPACE
The pre-wiring of electrical infrastructure at a parking space, or set of parking spaces, to facilitate easy and cost-efficient future installation of electric vehicle supply equipment or electric vehicle service equipment, including, but not limited to, Level Two EVSE and direct current fast chargers. Make-ready includes expenses related to service panels, junction boxes, conduit, wiring, and other components necessary to make a particular location able to accommodate electric vehicle supply equipment or electric vehicle service equipment on a "plug and play" basis. "Make-ready" is synonymous with the term "charger ready," as used in P.L. 2019, c. 362 (N.J.S.A. 48:25-1 et seq.).
PRIVATE EVSE
EVSE that has restricted access to specific users (e.g., single- and two-family homes, executive parking fleet parking with no access to the general public).
PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE EVSE
EVSE that is publicly available (e.g., park and ride, public parking lots and garages, on-street parking, shopping center parking, non-reserved parking in multifamily parking lots, etc.).

Adequate EVSE protection such as concrete-filled steel bollards shall be used for publicly accessible EVSE. Nonmountable curbing may be used in lieu of bollards if the EVSE is set back a minimum of 24 inches from the face of the curb. Any standalone EVSE bollards should be three feet to four feet high with concrete footings placed to protect the EVSE from accidental impact and to prevent damage from equipment used for snow removal.
(d) 
EVSE outlets and connector devices shall be no less than 36 inches and no higher than 48 inches from the ground or pavement surface where mounted, and shall contain a cord management system as described in Subsection F(4)(e) below.

Publicly accessible EVSE shall have posted regulatory signs, as identified in this section, allowing only charging electric vehicles to park in such spaces. For purposes of this section, "charging" means that an electric vehicle is parked at an EVSE and is connected to the EVSE. If time limits or vehicle removal provisions are to be enforced, regulatory signs including parking restrictions shall be installed immediately adjacent to, and visible from the EVSE. For private EVSE, installation of signs and sign text is at the discretion of the owner.
(b)
