I live in Jersey City, NJ and have the ear of the Office of Sustainability. They have asked me for recommendations.

So what has worked in other cities? Examples I can think of:

1. Allow people with electric cars to have a dedicated parking spot in front of their home so that they can run an extension cord and charge regularly (handicapped have this ability in my area)
2. Make sure that a charging station of some sort is within 0.25 miles of everyone, or at least neighborhoods of a certain average income level
3. Require new apartment complexes to require parking, dedicating two spots to charging spots
4. City tax breaks for those that buy electric cars
5. Install 120V or 240V plugs at larger parking complexes that are free to use for those paying for monthly parking, designating those spaces to be allocated for electric or PHEV cars only
6. Work with electric providers to allow cheaper electric rates at night so that the cars can be set to charge at lower kW/h timeframes
7. Ordinance that states that parking lots over a certain size must dedicate some number of spots for electric car charging
8. Preferential parking spots at parking lots, near spots for handicapped and expectant mothers

Can folks chime in with other ideas that I can pass on?
