For those of you who completed the credit, would one sign for an area with EV charging stations suffice, or does each charging station need a sign?

Hi Amanda,
Ideally, each space should be somehow marked, either with pavement markings (assuming it's appropriate for the location) or signage. I have gotten feedback in the past that you could put signage at each end of a row of charging spaces indicating that the whole row is for EVs, but it has to be clearly visible and evident to all drivers. So, think ahead to what signage would be visible when the spots are full of vehicles.

A lot of the chargers have an option for integrated signage, which in my experience has gone over well with project owners - less effort on their part to figure out signage.
I have gotten dinged in LEED comments for not providing signage drawings, so if you do use that option be sure to highlight the integrated signage on the product cut sheet!
