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 prewiring 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 2 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, nonreserved parking in multifamily parking lots, etc.).
