The first sentence of this article is misleading - "Participants of an Olympia-sponsored focus group are divided on the city’s goals to convert every home to have electric vehicle (EV) facilities."
The regulations that are being discussed for both the new State Code and for the potential City code would only apply to new construction. This is about buildings that will be around for many years into the future. This is not an effort to 'convert every home' for electric vehicle charging.
The reason it is important to have new construction at least EV-capable is because it is expensive to retrofit later.
From an affordability perspective, there are affordable EV's available now. Maintaining and charging an EV can be cheaper than maintaining and fueling a gas-powered car. People in apartments should be provided the choice to own an EV.
