A. 
Purpose. The purpose of this chapter 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 storm water 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 chapter, 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 (C.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 15 to 20 amp breaker on a 120 volt AC circuit.
(2) 
Level 2 operates on a 40 to 100 amp breaker on a 208 or 240 volt AC circuit.
(3) 
Direct-current fast charger (DCFC) operates on a 60 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
