I remember the color code but electrical code is a dictatorial method of gaining control of our lives, spy in us and extract monies out of our pockets through our government dictatorship. Why would everyone need and why would a national organization force new construction to have a charge station for an electric car forced upon them? Why are building codes so stringent and expensive that they make building a house too expensive for rural America? There are vacant lots near me where people tried to build their dream home but their dream was smashed by government “fees”/taxes.

These codes are subject to abuse.
“why would a national organization force new construction to have a charge station for an electric car forced upon them?”
In that case, they are trying to get ahead of Democratic dictators. I think only the wiring is truly indicated at this time. The charging station could wait until the EV is purchased, and probably would be much cheaper in the future.
Codes should be more guideline oriented than dictatorial.
Bingo! And I own an EV, with a home charge station. I had my charging circuits installed in a way to optimize for my specific EV and my home solar. If a stupid regulation had put it in there it wouldn't be nearly as efficient for my situation. But the free market, which I wish the Dims would let us have, including with car choices and energy sources, lets us each pick what's best for us, including whether or not you have an EV at all.
The NFPA is a private organization sponsored by the insurance companies. Their codes are “model electrical codes” that governments can adopt or adapt to local circumstances. Typical electrical inspections are simple checklist inspections, that vastly contribute to safety.
