I did not read the article, but mandates like this can be overrun by technology.
I am remembering the special light fixtures that has to be installed so only fluorescent bulbs could be used instead of incandescent.
It was a waste of time and money.
Like the sentiment, worried about the execution.

If you read the article it gives the details of what qualifies as a EV ready outlet
An EV Ready space is defined as having at least a 240V/20A outlet or charger for EV charging, either with a standardized outlet (NEMA 6-20, 14-30 or 14-50) or a J1772 or J3400 (NACS) charger.
- Examples of those NEMA outlets are 240v dryer outlets or RV hookups. You can plug a 240V car charger into them, such as the ones below. The NEMA standards go back ~100 years.
- The J1772 is the standard connector that virtually every EV accepts directly or with a little 4" adapter (240v, 3 to 19 kw).
- The J3400 (NACS) is the Tesla standard connector that virtually every car maker is switching to.
Picking one of these is a pretty safe investment, the most expensive part is actually connecting and running 240v wires to a breaker panel.

That looks like an excellent rule then. I mean you often need 240 for a machine tool, think large planer, welder or something like that. Also stone easy to install before the sheetrock goes up.

And that’s the key. Probably adds $100 or $200 to the cost of a house. If you wait until afterwards it can be $1000 or more.
