Future apartment and condo buildings in Salt Lake City may be friendlier to electric vehicles under a proposal introduced recently to the City Council.
An EV charging station at the Utah Department of Environmental Quality in Salt Lake City in October 2022. Salt Lake City may require developers to supply the infrastructure for more charging stations at their apartment and condo complexes.
Existing regulation requires one in 25 parking spaces in multifamily developments to be equipped with an EV charging station. The city’s proposal rule would build on that rule, not replace it. “As EV charging transitions from an amenity to an essential feature of multifamily properties,” Nelson said, “those residential properties not equipped to accommodate EV charging bear the risk of devaluation in the market.”
If the need arises, he said, the cost of installing an upgrade to accommodate an electric vehicle in an apartment building should fall on the user.
