Village board's vote is following the state of Illinois' lead.
Following the state's lead, Mount Prospect will require new single-family homes and homes undergoing significant renovations to be equipped with an electric vehicle charger.
The measure means the new homes, or those with renovations covering more than 750 square feet, must include a dedicated circuit for a minimum of Level 2 vehicle charging, the most commonly used of the three charging levels. The circuit would be a equipped with at least a 40-amp receptacle or electric vehicle charging equipment.
"If state law is requiring this anyway, and it's not really a village mandate anymore, why have a discount at all?" Trustee John Matuszak said.
