ANN ARBOR, MI An ordinance awaiting final City Council approval will require new developments in Ann Arbor to look to the future and install electric vehicle charging stations.
The city’s new EV parking ordinance was unanimously approved by council at first reading in December and awaits final adoption following a public hearing Jan. 19.
As part of the city’s A2Zero initiative to achieve communitywide carbon-neutrality by 2030 to reduce pollution and fight climate change, Ann Arbor is calling for adding thousands of EV chargers throughout the city putting the infrastructure in place to allow the community to transition away from gasoline vehicles and the emissions they produce.
