Best Practices Utilized by The EV Project for Non-Residential Alternating Current Level 2 ?Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Infrastructure Planning

The lack of public charging infrastructure for plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) has been identified as a barrier to their widespread adoption. Federal and state grants have been awarded to promote public charging and encourage retail businesses to install charging infrastructure. A common question for charger installations is, “Where should the chargers be placed?” One of the objectives of the EV Project was to study the interaction of PEV drivers with the public infrastructure, so The EV Project attempted to develop a method to determine where EVSE should be placed. In the early stages of PEV sales in local markets, the options for siting publicly accessible EVSE were: • Plan locations associated with key attraction sites where PEV parking is anticipated • Directly solicit retail and public charging hosts for widespread placement • Ask the PEV drivers who were early adopters where they want public infrastructure • Identify sites near known high traffic areas
