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.

Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have
the meanings indicated:
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.
The amount of voltage provided to charge an electric vehicle
varies depending on the type of EVSE as follows:
Level 1 operates on a fifteen-to-twenty-amp breaker on a 120-volt
AC circuit.
Level 2 operates on a forty-to-one-hundred-amp breaker on a
208- or 240-volt AC circuit.
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.
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.
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."
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.).
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).
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.).
