Garage Charge

Charge or else:

Under the measure, new single-family dwellings built starting Jan. 1, 2025, with a dedicated parking space must have at least 6 kilowatts of power capacity — a so-called Level 2 charger — available for electric vehicle charging. New multi-family dwellings built starting Jan. 1, 2025, must have at least 19 kilowatts of power capacity for electric vehicle charging available for each five parking spaces. Adding a charging station is potentially costly, depending on several variables, including the type installed. A Level 3 charger, often called a DC fast charger, is the quickest vehicle charger and can handle higher voltages. A Level 2 charger falls in the middle and could still take about eight hours to charge a vehicle. According to BobVila.com, a Level 2 charging station costs $600 to $1,200, less expensive than a Level 3 charging station, which can cost up to $35,000. The national average to install a charging station is $959.
