CIR ID#10410 allows projects to achieve SSc4.3 using a combination of Option 1 and Option 2. I have read the ruling but still find the language a bit ambiguous so I am asking for clarification in regards to our situation.
Our project has 1114 spaces. We are installing 8 level 2 charging stations and adjacent to each fueling station will be an additional EV only space. So basically two EV only spaces for each charger for a total of 16 spaces. I have two questions:
1) The CIR states “one fueling station is equivalent to 1.67 preferred parking spaces.” I am not sure if I should apply this to the 8 charging stations or the 16 spaces that make up the fueling station and are dedicated EV only spaces. How many preferred parking spaces is this design worth?
2) The project plans on reaching the 5% level by providing additional preferred parking for LE/FE vehicles. How many preferred spaces must be offered in addition to the EV charging stations to reach the credits 5% threshold?

Hi Zane,
I don't have direct experience combining these options for compliance but typically you count the EV Parking spaces served by fueling stations, so 16 in your case, which according to the 1.67 equivalent this works out to 27 preferred parking spaces. 5% of 1114 is 56, which means you provide 29 additional LE/FE if my math is correct.
