Charging
stations</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;line-height:normal;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> Starting around 2010, local zoning
regulations have begun to address charging stations for electric vehicles.
Charging stations differ from traditional gasoline stations in several ways.
Because they primarily require a parking space and a connection receptacle, charging
stations do not have the same negative environmental or aesthetic effects as
traditional gasoline stations. They also do not attract the same volume of
traffic as traditional stations, given the relatively fewer number of electric
vehicles. Similarly, they do not see as frequent traffic, given that electric
vehicles must remain stationary to charge for much longer than a
gasoline-dependent vehicle must. Accordingly, charging stations require a
different, and less restrictive, regulatory scheme than traditional gasoline
stations.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;line-height:normal;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> Although as of 2015, there
apparently are no reported decisions where a court has squarely addressed the
issue, it would be surprising if any court found that localities were not
enabled to address electric vehicle charging stations through zoning. Some
states have gone beyond the standard zoning enabling act, however, to encourage
or legislate for charging station regulation at the local level. Washington
requires certain large localities to allow electric vehicle infrastructure
within a mile of certain interstates and state roads and expressly authorizes
cities and counties to adopt incentive programs—such as height bonuses, site
coverage, floor to area ratio, and transferable development rights, among
others—to encourage retrofitting for charging stations.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="gmail-MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align:super">1</span></a>
The state also requires certain signage for charging stations, which is usually
a local government function.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""><span class="gmail-MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align:super">2</span></a> In
addition, Washington has published a guide for local governments on electric
vehicle infrastructure, including a model ordinance and model development
regulations.<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title=""><span class="gmail-MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align:super">3</span></a> As a result, many
Washington localities have adopted zoning regulations addressing electric
vehicles.<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" title=""><span class="gmail-MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align:super">4</span></a> Hawaii, an early adopter of electric
vehicle regulation, requires that for every 100 parking spaces in a place of
public accommodation, one must be equipped with an electric vehicle charging
system, and should be designated and marked as such.<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" title=""><span class="gmail-MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align:super">5</span></a>
California prohibits private entities, such as homeowners' associations and
landlords, from unreasonably restricting the installation of electric vehicle
charging stations.<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6" title=""><span class="gmail-MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align:super">6</span></a> Maryland has
commissioned a full report on electric vehicle infrastructure, which suggests
that local governments permit and regulate on-street charging, require charging
stations in new developments, and include siting and design guidelines for
charging stations.<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7" title=""><span class="gmail-MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align:super">7</span></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;line-height:normal;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> Some localities require or encourage
electric vehicle charging stations under certain circumstances. Auburn Hills,
Michigan, which happens to be the home of the automobile manufacturer Chrysler,
has “strongly encouraged” both residential and nonresidential properties to
provide a “medium-charging” 220-240-volt/40 amp outlet on a dedicated circuit,
to minimize the cost of retrofitting.<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8" title=""><span class="gmail-MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align:super">8</span></a>
Covena, California, provides for expedited review and approval of electric
charging stations.<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9" title=""><span class="gmail-MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align:super">8.50</span></a> Montgomery County,
Maryland, requires that one parking space for every 100 parking spaces in
certain new developments be made ready for electric vehicle charging, though it
does not require the charging station to be activated.<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10" title=""><span class="gmail-MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align:super">9</span></a> Hartford, Connecticut, requires one
electric vehicle charging station for every 35 parking spaces in any
residential, lodging, government, office, or industrial development and
requires that assembly, stadium, retail, service, and transit station uses to
be wired to support a Level 2 charging stations or have Level 1 charging
stations installed.<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11" title=""><span class="gmail-MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align:super">9.50</span></a>
Coral Gables, Florida, requires, for both residential and nonresidential
developments with 20 or more off-street parking spaces, that a minimum of two
percent of the required off-street parking spaces be reserved for electrical
vehicle parking, and that there be an electrical charging station for each
space, with a minimum of one space reserved for electrical vehicle parking.<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12" title=""><span class="gmail-MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align:super">9.70</span></a> All new multi-family, mixed-use, or
hotel developments with 20 or more units must provide access to 240 volt
capability throughout the garage to offer charging opportunities to residents
and guests. Some localities distinguish between slow and medium stations, and
rapid charging stations with industrial grade electrical outlets. Chelan,
Washington, permits slow and medium charging stations in all zoning districts,
and allows the faster charging stations in industrial, highway service
commercial, and public land districts as of right, while requiring a permit in
the downtown, tourist, and waterfront areas.<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13" title=""><span class="gmail-MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align:super">10</span></a>
Chelan has standards regarding signage, accessibility, lighting, and equipment,
but allows the planning director to deviate from the requirements “[d]ue to the
fact the technology associated with electric vehicles, batteries and electric
vehicle charging stations is relatively new and is anticipated to change, and
that there is a lack of municipal experience on consumer and community
preferences and attitudes with regard to electric vehicles.”<a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14" title=""><span class="gmail-MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align:super">11</span></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;line-height:normal;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> Electric vehicle requirements may be
imposed by localities to mitigate environmental concerns such as climate
change, and these may be subject to court challenges.<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15" title=""><span class="gmail-MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align:super">12</span></a></span></p>
