HB 2180 (2021) EV Parking Infrastructure Implementation

These rule changes implement electric vehicle (EV) parking infrastructure requirements under HB 2180 (2021) and ORS 455.417. The rules establish standards for what constitutes electric vehicle infrastructure, which newly constructed building types, and their associated parking, have to comply with the requirements, and sets a minimum percentage of parking spaces that must have EV parking infrastructure installed at time of construction. The rules also create a local land use path to require a higher percentage of parking spaces that are required to have EV parking infrastructure. Additional now obsolete rules and references are also repealed or modified to align with the requirements of HB 2180.

HB 2180, Relating to vehicles

Requires Director of Department of Consumer and Business Services to amend state building code to require that new construction of certain buildings include provisions for electrical service capacity for specified percentage of parking spaces. Allows municipality to adopt local percentage of parking space requirements higher than state building code requirements.
