[§291-71]  Designation of parking
spaces for electric vehicles; charging units.  All public, private, and
government parking facilities that are available for use by the general public
and have at least one hundred parking spaces shall designate one per cent of
parking spaces exclusively for electric vehicles by December 31, 2011, provided
that at least one of the parking spaces designated for electric vehicles is
located near the building entrance and is equipped with an electric vehicle
charging unit.  Spaces shall be designated, clearly marked, and the exclusive
designation enforced.  The electric vehicle charging units shall meet
recognized standards, including SAE J1772 of the Society of Automotive
Engineers.  Owners of multiple parking lots within the State may designate and
electrify fewer parking spaces than required in one or more of their owned
properties as long as the scheduled requirement is met for the total number of
aggregate spaces on all of their owned properties.



When the number of registered electric vehicles
in the State reaches five thousand, the spaces designated for electric vehicles
shall increase to two per cent of parking spaces.  The number of spaces
designated for electric vehicles shall continue to increase by one per cent for
each additional five thousand electric vehicles registered in the State until
the percentage reaches ten per cent of parking spaces.



For the purposes of this section, "electric
vehicle" means an electric vehicle or neighborhood electric vehicle with
an electric vehicle license plate. [L 2009, c 156, pt of §4]
