A. Purpose
These standards ensure that required electric vehicle charging spaces are designed so that electric vehicle drivers may easily find and utilize
without undue inconvenience.
B. General Criteria
1.
Siting
a. When siting
, the charging equipment must not interfere with other uses and access on site.
b.
shall be installed so that EV charging is feasible in the number of spaces required.
C.
The purpose of
is to provide easy access for EV charging to a wide range of the general public. This is the most visible and significant investment in
infrastructure. The installation of a charging station allows an EV driver to charge a vehicle without additional equipment. The installation of a networked station allows for managed charging access, monitoring, billing, and remotely accessed updates for the user and property manager.
1.
Stations must be securely anchored to the ground, floor, wall, or ceiling.
2. Stations shall be installed to minimize tripping hazards and draping of the charging cord.
3. EV parking spaces with access to installed stations shall be identified with signage and pavement markings including an EV symbol and regulatory instructions such as "No Parking Except for Electric Vehicle Charging."
4. Installed
stations shall be accessible for EV charging during business hours at a minimum.
D.
The purpose of
is to provide lower cost ready access to EV charging in locations with familiar or semi-regular users. Location-specific management strategies can be utilized to monitor or bill for charging access. Users may be required to provide their own charging cables to connect to an available outlet, or management may opt to provide this component.
spaces provide significant cost savings over retrofits if they are upgraded to
stations in the future.
1. The outlet near the
parking space shall be permanently and visibly marked as "
."
2. This marking shall be changed if upgraded to
.
3. In the service panel or subpanel directory, the branch circuit shall be identified as "
."
4. Information for how to access and charge at
parking spaces through site- specific management plans shall be clearly visible in the parking lot.
E.
The purpose of
conduit is to provide cost effective 'future proofing' for future EV charging at a site.
1. The raceway termination location near the
parking space shall be permanently and visibly marked as "
."
2. This marking shall be changed if upgraded to EV Ready or EV Installed.
3. The service panel or subpanel circuit directory shall identify the overcurrent protective device space(s) reserved for future electrical vehicle charging as "
".
