Vancouver Requires Electric Car Inclusionary Zoning
14 July 2009 - 8:00am
The city of Vancouver is going to begin requiring that a certain amount of electric car charging stations be included in all new residential developments.
"Under the plan approved Thursday, developers must include plug-ins for electric cars in at least 20 per cent of parking stalls in new condominium and apartment buildings, along with some city-owned parking lots."
This rule doubles the original proposal to require 10 percent electric charging stations.

But why not just require basic accessibility, such as no-step entrances and wider doorways? It seems off the mark to argue that it's inappropriate to place this kind of requirement on homebuilders.
