Building & Inspection Services staff spent significant time reviewing options for electrical vehicle charging improvements within the code. Staff found that developers and contractors are concerned with any additional level of code requirements within the Village. However, they are supportive of planning for future improvements in vehicle charging and offering charging capabilities on new/significantly remodeled single family homes and garages. Staff proposes the following code improvements and updates to our existing code which was recently adopted in 2022. Proposed (2) two code updates: 1. All new single family homes (detached or attached homes) and homes that are being renovated in excess of 750 square feet of remodeled square footage shall be equipped with a minimum of a level 2 vehicle charging circuit that is equipped with a minimum of a 40 -amp receptacle or electric vehicle charging station equipment. The single family home electrical service panel shall be capable of maintaining that car charging circuit without impacting any circuit serving the property. The circuit shall be dedicated for vehicle charging use only and shall not be cross -utilized. The installation shall be fully compliant with the current National Electric Code standards. a. The Village shall grant a one-time $500 credit on the permit fee for the 1 aforementioned new single family home or remodeled home as described within this code section. The designer shall be prepared to provide panel calculations. The circuit shall be included in the original construction permit for the project and shall be completed prior to occupancy. This credit shall be in effect until July 1, 2026. 2. In addition to all the minimum electric circuits and devices in new attached garages, all new detached garages shall be installed and equipped with a minimum of two additional electric (spare) conduits underground that shall be installed to prepare the garage to be EV -ready. The conduits shall terminate inside the existing home in reasonable proximity of the electric service panel and shall terminate within junction box/termination box/sub- panel within the new garage. No conductors (wires) are required to be installed at the time of occupancy of the new garage. The Village encourages electrical vehicle charging stations to be installed. The installation shall be fully compliant with the current National Electric Code standards. If charging station(s) are installed in the detached garage, the single family home electrical service panel shall be capable of maintaining that car charging circuit(s) without impacting any circuit serving the property. The designer shall be prepared to provide panel calculations. The future circuit(s) shall be dedicated for vehicle charging use only and shall not be cross -utilized. A sub -panel may be necessary, consult your electrician and load calculations. a. The Village shall grant a one-time $200 credit on the permit fee for the aforementioned new detached garage described within this code section. The designer shall be prepared to provide panel calculations. The spare conduits shall be included in original construction permit for the project and shall be completed prior to occupancy. This credit shall be in effect until July 1, 2026. Staff are of the opinion that the proposed code improvements provide reasonable approaches to requiring vehicle charging in new homes, significantly remodeled homes, and new detached garages. There is an increasing demand for electric vehicles and increasing number of communities are now requiring some form of vehicle charging or electrical vehicle (EV) ready within their codes. The Village is proposing to take this requirement one step further by offering incentives to offset some of the cost of the installation. In a normal year, staff anticipates these code incentives to reduce building permit revenue by approximately $20,000-$25,000 a year. Alternatives 1.
