I do not have time to read the 500+ pages of proposed zoning codes. However, this might be
useful.
Requiring EV chargers in new/remodeled construction.
THe LA Times today had a story about a developer complaining that the City of LA requiredhim to equip 20% of the parking spaces with an EV charger. He now said that he would have
trouble selling those units without them.
The perhaps equal issue is the lack of electrical capacity to install EV chargers. My next doorneighbor had to wait more than 6 months for NWE to upgrade his service and get one installed
for his new Ford Lightning pickup.
Most MT citizens think TVs will not be accepted in Bozeman due to the winter climate impacton range. Doesn’t help provide “affordable housing” but it is the future.
