Section 3114 Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities
 
 
3114.1 Electric vehicle parking. Where parking is provided, new construction shall provide EVSE-installed spaces and facilitate future installation and use of EVSE through the provision of EV-Ready Spaces and EV-Capable Spaces provided in compliance with Sections 3114.1.1 through 3114.1.3, Where more than one parking facility is provided on a site, EVSE-installed, EV-Ready Spaces and EV-Capable Spaces shall be calculated separately for each parking facility.
 
 
3114.1.1 New commercial and multifamily buildings. EVSE-installed spaces, EV-Ready Spaces and EV Capable Spaces shall be provided in accordance with Table 3114.1 for Commercial buildings and Table 3114.2 for multi-family buildings. Where the calculation of percent served results in a fractional parking space, it shall be rounded up to the next whole number. The circuit shall have no other outlets. The service panel shall include an over-current protective device and provide sufficient capacity and space to accommodate the circuit and over-current protective device and the termination point shall be located in close proximity to the proposed location of the EV parking spaces.
