Easing the Transition: Evolving Codes, Regulations, and AHJs

This panel will cover what you need to know about residential charging issues, public charging rules, energization, and interconnected policy. Topics include:

Residential charging:

  • EV-ready building codes: the national IECC building codes and state requirements survey.
  • Right-to-charge laws: this is a suite of laws that deal with multi-unit dwellings and condo associations and allow residents to install EV chargers if they wish.

Public charging: 

  • Permitting and zoning rules around getting DCFC stations installed, dealing with local rules and municipalities

Energization and interconnection policy: 

  • Several states are attempting to put new policies in place to limit the timeline between a utility service request and its being fulfilled.
