Hi Kath - Hopefully I've understood your question correctly. It sounds like you are wondering how to comply with the credit with an electric vehicle fleet, and what documentation will be asked of project teams. It is important to note that there is currently no compliance path for electric company vehicles. Rather, the credit rewards teams that install chargers proportional to the total parking capacity for all vehicles. Vehicle fleet performance is only addressed in Option 2 of the Schools credit. In general, documentation for this part of the credit must show that a sufficient number of vehicle chargers have been provided for the building (at least 2% of total parking capacity), that the parking spaces associated with the chargers have been reserved for electric vehicles, and that manufacturer documentation for the charger demonstrates the following: Level 2 or above charging capability, compliance with SAE J1772 or another relevant standard, and internet addressability.
