Does anyone have any experience in getting credit for more Level 1 chargers? Increasing having clients question whether Level 2 is the right approach for mass rollout due to electrical infrastructure impact and logistics in operation (swopping in and out of spaces)?

Hi Abhinay, LEED has been pretty consistent in requring Level 2. I agree that Level 1 can be a good option especially for residential where people have assigned spaces and can charge slowly overnight, and I also have some projects where they're building out extensive Level 1 after meeting the LEED requirement for Level 2. But it has also been those clients' experience that there is demand from residents for Level 2. Of course with overnight charging you can also take advantage of off-peak utility rates. A lot depends on the type of project and how people will use it!
