Electric Vehicle (EV) Readiness Guides
Electric Vehicle (EV) Readiness Guides
The City of Austin adopted the 2024 Energy Code with local amendments on April 10, 2025. It takes effect July 10, 2025. Austin’s Climate Equity Plan aims for 40% of total vehicle miles traveled in Austin to be electrified and EV ownership that is culturally, geographically and economically diverse. By adopting EV readiness measures in the Energy Code, the City of Austin helps the whole community prepare for the future installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
To support implementation of the new Code, Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB), has developed guides to help industry professionals understand the three levels of EV readiness requirements of the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) as amended and adopted by the City of Austin. The AEGB team welcomes feedback on the guides.
