[Massplanners] EV Parking

[Jacki Byerley]

Hello!  Planning is proposing a parking amendment at our upcoming Town Meeting, one of the requirements we have placed in the off-street parking is the requirement for new multifamily buildings and nonresidential developments over 20,000 sf will have to provide 10% of the parking as EV Charging stations and an additional 10% shall be compatible with EV parking in the future.

My question is since cars do not need to charge for the full shift of an employee (8-hour shift) is the expectation that the employee will move their car to another spot to free up the EV charging station or do they unplug but stay parked for the whole day?

Are you aware if any employers charge their employees or visitors for EV charging?

How long can a resident stay parked at the EV Charging station at a multifamily complex and are they charged?

And for those communities that require 10%, do you think that is enough?

Any feedback you may have on what works or doesn't work in your community for private parking charging stations would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Jacki
