FAQs about SSc4.3 :

Do all hybrid vehicles automatically qualify for this credit?

Can a project pursue this credit via a combination of Option 1 (preferred parking) and Option 2 (alternative fueling stations)?

How should the signage read for preferred parking spaces?

For electric vehicle charging stations, how are the parameters established for fueling capacity?

I am working on a project with no parking spaces allocated. Can I earn this credit?

Our project is outside the U.S., and the LEED-approved ACEEE Green Score and CARB ratings and classifications don't apply to many vehicles. Is there another approach that is accepted?

Should I consider motorbikes and parking spaces for them under this credit? What about fleet vehicles?

LEED Interpretation #5078 (https://www.usgbc.org/content/li-5078) indicates that at least a 240v conductive power supply (or inductive charger) is the minimum permissible, so level 1 chargers are not allowed. For v3, the number of chargers is tied to the speed they are able to charge a car. LEED v4 specifically requires Level 2 or greater with a standard connector (i.e. SAE or J1772).
