Goal of this petition:

  • Major car manufacturers have resolved to switch their fleets to electric vehicles by 2035.
  • The majority of electric vehicle car-charging is done at home.
  • Apartment residents deserve the option of driving money-saving electric vehicles as much as homeowners.

In cooperation with C.L.E.A.N., I am signing this petition to require apartment building parking areas be ready for residents who own electric vehicles (or residents who wish to purchase an electric vehicle).

What we propose:
• All new apartment buildings must have a minimum of 20% of their reserved tenant garages or tenant parking spaces equipped with a dedicated (for charging only) NEMA 14-50 outlet or level 2 charging equipment by 2024.
• Existing apartment buildings must retrofit at least 10% of their reserved tenant parking spaces and garages with a dedicated (for charging only) NEMA 14-50 outlet or level 2 charging equipment by 2025.
