Hamilton, NJ Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

Adopted in 2023 and amended that October, § 215-16 sets the price and time rules for charging at a municipal EVSE (electric vehicle supply/service equipment) station, on top of whatever parking fee already applies to the space. 50 for the first two hours, then $3 for every hour after that, and the ordinance specifies the rate already folds in any administrative charge, so no separate service fee is added at the pump. , a vehicle may remain connected for a maximum of four hours, meant to keep a limited number of public charging spaces turning over for other drivers.

, a vehicle parked at an EVSE in a location open to the public around the clock is not subject to any time limit. The section also notes a station's actual availability is tied to the host lot's own posted hours, so a charger inside a lot that closes overnight is not usable regardless of the overnight exception. Separately, § 215-16(B) makes clear the ordinance does not stop a private owner or designee who operates an EVSE from charging its own fee for use, so long as that private fee complies with applicable state and federal regulation; private-lot rates are posted at or on the charger itself rather than set by the Township.
