Mapping Documents

[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=”h6″ style=”modern” color=”white” active_section=”0″ no_fill=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”EV Hosting Capacity Maps from New Jersey Utilities” tab_id=”1648814560865-f448db11-6ec3″][vc_column_text]New Jersey utilities have developed load capacity maps to help guide development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The maps show areas where new direct current fast charging infrastructure can likely be installed without the need for extensive equipment upgrades. The maps also show areas where capacity may be constrained, and EV charging projects may require major equipment upgrades that could add time and cost.
The maps are for informational purposes only. DEP recommends that customers and developers carefully read and understand utilities’ explanations of the use and limitations of their capacity maps. The maps are not a substitution for the new service application process. Developers and customers must apply to a utility for new service, and be granted approval, before beginning construction or installation of a proposed fast charging project.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][vc_column_text]
