Galloway Township follows New Jersey's statewide EV law. Under P.L. 2021, c.171 (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-66.18 et seq.), EV charging stations and make-ready parking spaces are a permitted accessory use in every zoning district statewide, so no separate Township approval is needed to install them.
New Jersey adopted a statewide model EV ordinance in 2021 that overrides local zoning. Installation of EV charging stations or make-ready parking spaces is a permitted accessory use in all municipal zoning and use districts, effective in every municipality including Galloway. New or reconstructed multifamily developments of five or more units must designate 15% of required off-street parking as make-ready, with chargers phased in over time. Galloway may adopt only reasonable installation, sightline and safety standards, and cannot require more make-ready spaces than the state model. Residents installing home chargers still pull the normal electrical permit.
State law preempts local prohibition; disputes over installation standards are handled through the Township's zoning and construction officials under the state model ordinance.
