An ordinance to increase the number of electric vehicle charging stations is being considered by the Madison City Council, according to a report from the Wisconsin State Journal.
The proposal would require qualifying commercial and residential buildings to have some parking spaces with EV charging stations beginning in 2021. Fifty percent of all parking stalls would need to have electrical conduits and space for charging stations by 2041, and up to 10% of these would have to have chargers installed.
The proposed ordinance would apply to residential parking lots with at least six spaces. Also, schools, hotels, hospitals, office buildings, and public and private lots where people park for more than six hours at a time would be included in the ordinance.
