Summary of Assembly Bill A 6304

Overview

A 6304 would require all new residential and commercial construction that includes dedicated off-street parking to implement electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) infrastructure. The bill is currently referred to the Committee on Governmental Operations. It was introduced on March 3, 2025. Primary sponsor: Yudelka Tapia. Related bills from prior sessions include A 9559, A 3435, and A 4173.

Purpose and Intent

  • Promote widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) by ensuring new developments with off-street parking are prepared to support EV charging.
  • Align new construction with broader environmental and emissions-reduction goals by integrating EVSE into the building process.

Key Provisions (as described)

  • Applies to: all new residential and commercial construction projects that have dedicated off-street parking.
  • Requirement: these projects must implement EVSE infrastructure as part of the construction/ development process.
  • The bill would establish the framework for ensuring such infrastructure is included in eligible projects, with the specifics to be detailed in the bill’s text.

Note: The exact technical standards (e.g., number of charging ports, charging capacity, or required electrical capacity) and enforcement mechanisms are not provided in the information given. Details would appear in the enacted bill and any amendments.

Applicability

  • Scope covers new builds (residential and commercial) with dedicated off-street parking.
  • Projects lacking dedicated off-street parking are not within the bill’s mandate, based on the stated language.

Enforcement and Compliance

  • Specific enforcement provisions, penalties, and compliance timelines are not detailed in the information provided. These would be defined in the bill’s full text and any subsequent amendments.

Fiscal and Economic Considerations

  • Potential impact includes increased upfront costs for developers to install EVSE infrastructure, offset by long-term EV usage and grid benefits.
  • No budgetary figures are provided in the available summary.

Stakeholders Potentially Affected

  • Builders, developers, and property owners undertaking new residential or commercial projects with off-street parking.
  • Local governments and planning departments overseeing building codes and permitting.
  • EV manufacturers, charging service providers, and potential consumers relying on new charging capacity.

Related Legislation
