Various projects, including residential and data center projects, have an increased demand for EV charging stations. Can such projects provide a combination of EV charging spaces in a preferred location and reserved spaces for Green Vehicles in a preferred location, such that the total equals 7% of total parking capacity and neither percentage will be less than 2% of total parking capacity?
Projects may use the following compliance path if pursuing Option 1 of the Green Vehicles credit:
Provide preferred green vehicle parking and parking spaces with electric vehicle supply equipment in any combination such that it equals 7% of the total parking capacity and such that no percentage is less than 2% of the total parking capacity.
Project teams must still comply with the EVSE requirements:
Provide a Level 2 charging capacity (208 – 240 volts) or greater.
Comply with the relevant regional or local standard for electrical connectors, such as SAE Surface Vehicle Recommended Practice J1772, SAE Electric Vehicle Conductive Charge Coupler or IEC 62196 of the International Electrotechnical Commission for projects outside the U.S.
Be networked or internet addressable and be capable of participating in a demand-response program or time-of-use pricing to encourage off-peak charging.
