Ex. Summary:
House Bill 23-1233 enhances electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure by mandating that new multifamily housing developments include EV-ready infrastructure, preventing local governments and property owners from limiting EV charger installations, and allowing charging stations to count toward minimum parking requirements. The bill also exempts EV chargers from business personal property taxes and allows their installation along highway rights-of-way, ensuring broader access to charging networks. By eliminating barriers to EV adoption and fostering investment in charging infrastructure, the legislation aligns with Colorado’s greenhouse gas reduction goals and promotes a more sustainable transportation system.
