The bill amends the State Building Code to mandate the inclusion of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in all new residential buildings that have on-site parking facilities. Specifically, it modifies Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 326B.106, subdivision 16, to require a minimum number of electric vehicle ready spaces, electric vehicle capable spaces, and electric vehicle charging stations in these new residential structures, alongside existing requirements for commercial and multifamily buildings.

Additionally, the bill removes the exemption that previously applied to residential structures with fewer than four dwelling units, thereby ensuring that all new residential buildings, regardless of size, must comply with the new electric vehicle charging infrastructure requirements. This change aims to promote the adoption of electric vehicles and enhance the sustainability of new residential developments in Minnesota.
