KING COUNTY, Wash. - The King County Council approved legislation implementing electric vehicle requirements for new developments in unincorporated areas on Tuesday.
The new legislation requires the establishment of electric vehicle parking and charging stations in an effort towards the Council s Strategic Climate Action plan.
This means that new or remodeled apartment buildings must allocate 10% of their parking capacity to electric vehicle charging, and 25% of parking must be EV-ready (infrastructure is in place to install a charger in the future).
