Here is the final kicker, and when this law "expires".... So now an unelected bureaucrat gets to dictate another part of our lives.

elected, unelected…..they all have the superior attitude of “do what you’re told”

Wow... Delaware sounds just like Maryland

Who do you think are the ones moving to Delaware?

Leftists destroy everything they touch.

Wait until rural broadband is universal and watch the virus penetrate even more deeply into formerly conservative areas.

From the second link in my OP.

I'm a simple man, not a man of research lol.

For houses with a garage, it looks like a dedicated outlet and circuit will be needed. I'm guessing 10/3 at a minimum of 30 amps is a minimum. That gets expensive if you have to go across a house. And outside.

A smart electrician would figure out how to run a circuit for this purpose that can be repurposed for a generator interlock post inspection. At least houses without a garage would get something out of this.

If your Homeowners insurance does not include a betterment clause for building codes (fire suppression sprinklers, windows, ice damn prevention, etc) spend a little and get it.

More likely a dumb one, who would lose his license for doing it.


2020 NEC Code

Receptacle and Wall Plug: Where the EVSE calls for an in-wall receptacle, a 50 amp, 240 volt, 3- or 4-wire wall plug configuration is required. However, most charging equipment will be directly wired, eliminating the need for an in-wall receptacle. Level 2 EV connectors are designed so that they cannot be used with receptacles for other electric equipment, and the EVSE is labeled “For Use With Electric Vehicles” (CEC §625.15, 625.16).

Code update for backfeeding.

Doesn't surprise me. My beach home built in 2012 had some stupid rule the builder had to comply with. I wanted an over the range microwave oven. The builder said for them to do it, they would have to install the microwave oven one cabinet section over from the range because code required them to put a range hood in. No exceptions. The site supervisor advised me to wait till after closing when I took possession of the house to have the microwave oven installed. Which is exactly what I did. Removed the range hood and installed the microwave oven myself over the range where it should be.

Later on as more homes were built, that stupid building code was removed and the builder was able to install a microwave oven over the range where it should be.

Welcome to the new Maryland, where the imported Marylanders go because "Maryland is such a shit hole/because of these politicians, so I'm moving out of this state" .
Then does the same ol shite and get the same ol shite.

It's happening to PA as well.
Next will be WV, TN and TX.

Can't make this sh!t up. They'll start with commercial, then stick the residents.

This Act requires new commercial buildings with a foundation footprint of 50,000 square feet or greater to meet certain requirements to ensure that their roof is able to support solar energy infrastructure.

On the plus side, most EV charger setups can work as a generator patch panel if properly installed.

More reason to stay where you come from.
Next thing you know print detectors will be a requirement for those that are not carrying inconspicuous enough to satisfy feelings requirements.
