Provides that electric vehicle supply equipment proposed for installation at certain locations does not pose specific, adverse impact upon public health or safety; removes certain existing approval requirements.
This bill (S 4975) simplifies approval for installing electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at existing locations like gas stations and retail stores in New Jersey. It removes requirements that applicants prove their installation doesn’t violate old site plan rules or prior approval conditions. Instead, applicants must now only demonstrate that the EV equipment won’t cause specific, unmitigatable health or safety risks. The change applies to applications submitted after the bill’s enactment, streamlining the process for businesses adding EV chargers to existing properties.
