Owners of malls, factories, gated communities, and apartments will be required to reserve at least five percent of their parking space for charging electric vehicles (EVs) as the government continues with its green agenda, a new proposed construction code states.

According to the National Building Code, 2024, which seeks to define the country’s approach to construction and development, commercial buildings and multi-dwelling units will be required to have charging ports for electric cars.
