New Jersey's EV Act (P.L. 2021, c. 171, codified at N.J.S.A. 27:26A-10 and related) requires newly constructed multifamily buildings and commercial parking facilities to provide EV-ready or installed charging spaces — typically 15% Make-Ready, 5% installed. Elizabeth, Union Township, and other Union County municipalities adopted this through local code. Residential Level 2 charger installation (240V) requires an electrical permit under N.J.A.C. 5:23; permits are typically issued within 2 weeks for $75–$150. Condominium associations cannot prohibit an owner from installing an EV charger in their deeded parking space under N.J.S.A. 46:8B-15.2 (2019). Public charging stations must comply with ADA accessibility. NJ Board of Public Utilities offers rebates for residential chargers.
Unpermitted electrical work: stop-work order, retroactive permits plus $500+ penalty. HOA blocking install: homeowner civil remedy under N.J.S.A. 46:8B-15.2. ADA non-compliance: federal enforcement.
