ELECTRIC VEHICLE READINESS ORDINANCE SALT LAKE CITY SUSTAINABILITY DEPARTMENT
PRESENTATION AGENDA 01 BACKGROUND + CONTEXT An introduction to electric vehicle readiness and current SLC policy 02 LOCAL BENEFITS How EV readiness provides economic benefits and improves Salt Lake City’s air quality 03 PROPOSED REQUIREMENTS An overview of the proposed ordinance additions and property types impacted 04 PROVIDING FEEDBACK We want to hear from you!
What does electric vehicle readiness mean? Three levels of “electric vehicle supply equipment” (EVSE) infrastructure are often regulated by municipal zoning ordinances: EV CAPABLE EV READY EVSE INSTALLED
What does electric vehicle readiness mean? Transformer Utility Panel Utility Distribution Network EV CAPABLE EV CAPABLE Installed electrical panel capacity with a dedicated branch circuit and a continuous raceway from the panel to the future EV parking space.
What does electric vehicle readiness mean? Charging Outlet at Parking Space Transformer Utility Panel Utility Distribution Network EV READY EV READY Installed electrical panel capacity and raceway with conduit to terminate in junction box or 240-volt charging outlet.
What does electric vehicle readiness mean? Charging Outlet at Parking Space Transformer Utility Panel EV Charger Utility Distribution Network EVSE INSTALLED EV READY Installed Level 2 charging station.

Existing EV Policy M U L T I F A M I L Y P R O P E R T I E S One (1) installed EV charging station per 25 required parking spaces Count toward total required parking spaces Must be located near building entrance Signed in a clear and conspicuous manner Specific charging station level not required
Proposed EV Readiness M U L T I F A M I L Y P R O P E R T I E S Twenty percent (20%) of required parking spaces constructed as EV-ready Count toward total required parking spaces EV-ready parking spaces shall have electrical conduit and sufficient electrical capacity For new multi-family uses, a minimum of 20% of ADA spaces shall be constructed as EV- ready.

New vs. Retrofit Costs A N E C O N O M I C C O M P A R I S O N A study of EV-ready construction costs shows that installing infrastructure during the new construction phase is the most cost-efficient. New Construction Retrofit $610 $1,210 Balance of Circuit $180 $1,070 Raceway $70 $650 Permitting & Inspection $60 $620 Construction Management $920 $3,550 Total (per space) Data Source: SWEEP (Southwest Energy Efficiency Project). “Cracking the Code on EV-Ready Building Codes.” 2018.

Economic Benefits P R E P A R I N G F O R T E C H N O L O G Y I N N O V A T I O N Future-Proof Development Building code standards are moving quickly to keep up with EV technology. A resilient building stock that is Avoid Costly Retrofits prepared to meet demands for Retrofits costs are significantly higher future acceleration of electric than new construction for EV-ready. vehicle adoption. Market Competitiveness Properties with install EV-ready infrastructure are more attractive to specific clientele that require home- based charging options.

Proposed Ordinance E V R E A D I N E S S L A N G U A G E Each multifamily use shall provide a minimum of 20% electric vehicle ready parking spaces of total required parking on-site. EV-ready parking spaces shall have electrical conduit and sufficient electrical capacity for future use of 200 volt charging station. Proposed EV-ready parking spaces shall be submitted on site plans. For new multi-family uses, a minimum of 20% of ADA spaces shall be constructed as EV-ready.
Proposed Ordinance E V R E A D I N E S S L A N G U A G E Additional Provisions: EV-ready parking spaces count toward the total required number of parking spaces Parking areas with 4 or fewer parking spaces are not required to identify EV-ready spaces Where no minimum parking is required, EV-ready parking spaces are based on provided parking
