C20-2023-021 Electric Vehicle Charging

The City of Austin is proposing changes to the Land Development Code to add a use that allows properties to install electric vehicle charging stations. This means more places to charge your EV conveniently around the city. This webpage explains what an Electric Vehicle charging use is and describes the proposed changes.

Electric Vehicle Charging was approved by City Council on May 16, 2024. See below for a summary of the adopted changes, and click to view the adopted ordinance. 

Summary of Adopted Changes

  • Create an Electric Vehicle Charging (EV Charging) use so that an entire property can be used for EV charging 

  • Allow EV Charging use in higher-intensity commercial and industrial zones along certain types of roadways or on sites with existing gas stations 

  • Require a conditional use permit for EV Charging on larger properties abutting core and future core transit corridors and urban roadways to prevent concentrations within activated areas
