Fort Lee follows New Jersey's statewide EV ready ordinance requiring new construction to include EV charging infrastructure and prohibiting non-EVs from blocking dedicated charging spaces.
Per New Jersey state law (P.L. 2021, c. 171) adopted statewide and incorporated into Fort Lee Borough zoning, new multi-family and non-residential developments must provide a percentage of parking spaces as Make-Ready EV spaces, with installed Level 2 chargers in a portion of those. Public and shared EV charging spaces in Fort Lee must be reserved for vehicles actively charging; non-EV vehicles or non-charging EVs parked in marked charging stalls are subject to fines. The borough zoning code lists EV stations as a permitted accessory use in most districts.
Blocking an EV charging station can result in a fine of $100 or more under state law, plus potential towing from private property charging stalls.
