The certificate shall acknowledge compliance with all requirements of this chapter or such adjustments thereto granted by the approving authority and that the building was constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications filed with the construction official and meets all other applicable Township regulations.
CHARGING LEVELThe amount of voltage provided to charge an electric vehicle varies depending on the type of EVSE as follows:
a. Level 1 operates on a 15 to 20 amp breaker on a 120 volt AC circuit.
b. Level 2 operates on a 40 to 100 amp breaker on a 208 or 240 volt AC circuit.
c. Direct-current fast charger (DCFC) operates on a 60 amp or higher breaker on a 480 volt or higher three phase circuit with special grounding equipment. DCFC stations can also be referred to as rapid charging stations that are typically characterized by industrial grade electrical outlets that allow for faster recharging of electric vehicles.
ELECTRIC VEHICLEAny vehicle that is licensed and registered for operation on public and private highways, roads, and streets; and operates either partially or exclusively using an electric motor powered by an externally charged on-board battery.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE SUPPLY/SERVICE EQUIPMENT OR (EVSE)The equipment, including the cables, cords, conductors, connectors, couplers, enclosures, attachment plugs, power outlets, power electronics, transformer, switchgear, switches and controls, network interfaces, point of sale equipment, and associated apparatus designed and used for the purpose of transferring energy from the electric supply system to a plug-in electric vehicle. "EVSE" may deliver either alternating current or, consistent with fast charging equipment standards, direct current electricity. "EVSE" is synonymous with "electric vehicle charging station."
MAKE-READY PARKING SPACEMeans the pre-wiring of electrical infrastructure at a parking space, or set of parking spaces, to facilitate easy and cost-efficient future installation of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment or Electric Vehicle Service Equipment, including, but not limited to, Level Two EVSE and direct current fast chargers. Make Ready includes expenses related to service panels, junction boxes, conduit, wiring, and other components necessary to make a particular location able to accommodate Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment or Electric Vehicle Service Equipment on a "plug and play" basis. "Make-Ready" is synonymous with the term "charger ready," as used in P.L.2019, c.362 (C.48:25-1 et al.).
PRIVATE EVSEEVSE that has restricted access to specific users (e.g., single and two-family homes, executive parking fleet parking with no access to the general public).
PUBLICLY-ACCESSIBLE EVSEEVSE that is publicly available (e.g., park & ride, public parking lots and garages, on-street parking, shopping center parking, office parking lots, non-reserved parking in multi-family parking lots, etc.). Certain publicly-accessible EVSE are subject to municipal Title 39 enforcement, while other publicly-accessible EVSE are subject to discretionary enforcement by the owner or designee.
