Can you please clarify two points regarding e-car demand response (DR) -
1. Are we correct in understanding that LEED considers building DR programs as separate from e-car DR programs?
2. Currently there is no e-car DR program available. Can we achieve the credit if the charging stations installed are capable of participating in a future DR program?
Thank you

If our garage has multiple levels of parking, how do I select “preferred” spaces?
Can my EV charging stations be used as my preferred spaces for green vehicles?
Do the alternative fueling stations need to be in a preferred location?
What if my ESVE manufacturer does not offer a demand-response or time-of-use pricing option?
Can I install manufacturer-specific ESVE equipment? For example, Tesla EV charging stations?

Hi Francis,
Sorry for the late response! Hopefully this is still helpful for your project.
1. Yes, building demand response programs can be separate from e-car programs. However, some building DR programs incorporate electric vehicle systems into their load management systems as a way to avoid peak charging when there is a lot of EVSE.
2. Yes, the intent of this credit is to have infrastructure which has internet access so that it is "future ready" for these programs.
