8176-9.5 - PEV charging station design standards.

a.

Location—Outdoor Sites.

On-street PEV charging stations are prohibited. Vehicles must be parked outside of the public right-of-way while being charged.

PEV charging station outlets and connector shall be no less than thirty-six (36) inches or no higher than forty-eight (48) inches from the top of the surface where mounted and shall contain a retraction device or a place to hang cords and connectors above the ground surface, unless the manufacturer instructions for the electrical vehicle supply equipment recommends otherwise.

When attached to the side of a building, the charging system must be at least three (3) feet from the property line.

Equipment shall be protected by wheel stops or concrete-filled bollards.

In no case shall PEV charging station equipment encroach into public right-of-ways. Equipment mounted on pedestals, lighting posts, bollards, or other devices shall be designed and located as to not impede pedestrian travel or create hazards within the right-of-way.

b.

Location—Indoor Sites.

Indoor sites shall be limited to garages, parking structures, and agricultural buildings.

The electrical vehicle supply unit shall be located to permit direct connection to the electric vehicle.

PEV charging stations shall be stored or located at a height of no less than eighteen (18) inches and no more than four (4) feet unless the manufacturer instructions for the electrical vehicle supply equipment recommends otherwise.

Where the electric vehicle charging equipment requires ventilation for indoor operation, ventilation equipment connected to the outdoors shall be installed and permanently maintained.

c.

Lighting.

In no case, shall direct light from a PEV charging station illuminate a public street, walkway, or adjacent property in a manner that causes a nuisance, traffic hazard or safety hazard.

Illuminated PEV charging stations are prohibited within one hundred (100) feet of environmentally sensitive habitat areas.

d.

Signage. Signage shall be designed in conformance with Article 5 Section 8175-5.13. The following information shall be displayed on PEV charging station signs:

Voltage and amperage levels;

Safety information;

Hours of operations if time limits or tow-away provisions are to be enforced by the property owner;

Usage fees;

Contact information for reporting when the equipment is not operating or other problems.

PEV parking spaces must be designated with signage stating "Electric Vehicle Charging Only."
