EV Charging Zoning Study: Feedback Requested

This zoning study will evaluate and consider amendments to the Arlington County Zoning Ordinance (ACZO) related to electric vehicle (EV) charging. To support the growing market for EVs, this study will seek to clarify applicable requirements and remove restrictions for installing EV charging infrastructure. These objectives are aligned with the County’s Community Energy Plan (CEP), which calls for the County to “promote and encourage electric vehicles in the private and commercial sectors including supporting convenient charging stations throughout Arlington.” The study's desired outcome is to enable EV charging installations in a predictable, functional and context-appropriate manner across a variety of development types.
