HB 18-1107

House Bill 18-1107, which has been signed into law, requires builders to provide a prewired option for electric vehicle (EV) charging ports in new homes and buildings with owner-occupied condominium units. This means that when you buy a new home or condo unit, the builder must give you the choice to easily install an EV charger later without major construction work. The bill affects anyone buying a new residence and aims to make it easier for people to use electric vehicles by reducing installation costs and hassle.

Official Summary

Under existing law, builders must offer a 'solar prewire' option to purchasers of certain newly constructed residences. The bill applies a similar requirement to facilitate the installation of electric vehicle charging systems by purchasers of new residences, both in traditional detached, single-family homes and also in buildings that contain owner-occupied condominium units. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.) , Read More
