Teaneck follows New Jersey's statewide model EV ordinance requiring charging-ready spaces at new developments and prohibiting non-EVs from blocking designated charging stalls.
Under New Jersey's 2021 EV law, municipalities including Teaneck must approve qualifying EV charging projects as a permitted accessory use. New multi-family and commercial parking facilities must include Make-Ready and EV-Supply Equipment spaces in specified percentages. Designated EV charging stalls are reserved for vehicles actively charging; gas vehicles parking there (ICE-ing) and EVs occupying stalls without charging are subject to enforcement. Residential installations require electrical permits and inspection.
Blocking a designated charging space or installing equipment without permits can result in summonses and fines; permit work must be inspected.
