Electrical infrastructure rules updated

The multiple-dwelling electrical infrastructure guidance removed the transition-period exception and now applies the 50% EV-capable parking-space requirement without the prior temporary carve-out.

The electrical infrastructure upgrade guidance for multiple dwellings no longer includes the transition-period exception that had allowed some projects that started before March 17 to qualify under the newer rules. The July 17, 2026 flexibility language and related examples were also removed, so the 50% EV-capable parking-space requirement now appears to apply without that temporary carve-out. The linked page also removed the transition-period section from the navigation and from the project discussion, while the supporting application steps shown on the page were not materially changed.
