Full Breakdown
Coral Gables' Zoning Code requires electric vehicle infrastructure for all new construction except single-family homes, duplexes, and townhouses. Once a project needs ten or more off-street parking spaces, at least 5% of those spaces must be reserved for EV charging with AC Level 2 stations, an additional 15% must have EV-ready wiring (40-amp, 240-volt circuits), and 20% must have EV-capable conduit and panel capacity for future chargers. Charging equipment must sit inside the building, out of view from outside, with signage no longer than 18 inches.
Violations & Fines
New buildings that skip the required EV-reserved, EV-ready, or EV-capable parking allocations don't meet Zoning Code compliance, and site plans or certificates of occupancy can be withheld until infrastructure is installed as specified.
