Norfolk County has no EV charging rule. MA Stretch Code and Specialized Code require EV-ready parking in new residential construction. Brookline, Quincy, and Weymouth each adopted the Stretch Code.
MA adopted the Stretch Energy Code (225 CMR 22) and optional Specialized Opt-in Stretch Code (225 CMR 23), which require EV-ready parking spaces in new residential and commercial construction. Brookline adopted the Specialized Code in 2023, requiring 1 EV-ready space per dwelling unit in new multifamily and commercial garages to include 100% EV-capable spaces. Quincy adopted the Stretch Code and enforces EV-ready requirements on new 1-4 family construction (raceway and panel capacity). Weymouth also follows the Stretch Code. Level 2 home chargers require an electrical permit under 527 CMR 12. MA has no statewide HOA preemption on EV charging, but MGL c. 183A §5(e) restricts condo boards from unreasonably denying reasonable modifications including EV chargers in designated parking. Eversource and National Grid offer EV make-ready rebates.
Unpermitted electrical work: $100-$1,000 plus correction. Non-compliant new construction: no certificate of occupancy. Condo board unreasonable denial: small claims or superior court remedy.
