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 simplifies approval for installing electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment at existing locations like gas stations and retail stores in New Jersey. It removes previous requirements that applicants prove installations comply with site plan bulk rules and prior approval conditions. Instead, applicants must now demonstrate the proposed EV equipment won’t cause unmitigatable health or safety risks. The change applies to all pending or new applications after enactment, streamlining the process for businesses adding EV infrastructure to existing properties.
