This session, hosted by the American Planning Association, discusses planning, zoning, and permitting for EV charging — the challenges and lessons learned. Local approval often goes beyond code review to include planning and zoning concerns for land use, parking, traffic, design, and aesthetics. These concerns cause reviews to get hung up with zoning staff, zoning boards, and commissions. Hear how these issues are being addressed in the Planning and Zoning Guidance for Electric Vehicle Charger Deployment report, released by SEAC, IREC, and RMI; case studies from Tesla; and a cohort-based technical assistance program in over 50 communities by GPI.

This webinar was conducted prior to Charging Smart’s national launch, and so refers to an earlier stage of the program. However, the information on planning, zoning, and permitting remain current.
