  1. Electric Vehicle Infrastructure A Guide for Local Governments in Washington State Ivan Miller Principal Planner, AICP Get Plug-In Ready Conference September 2010

  2. Statewide 2 1481 and Local Jurisdictions Greater Central Puget Sound Region Everett Seattle Tacoma • Electric Vehicle Infrastructure: • Battery Charging Stations (includes Rapid) • Rapid Charging Stations • Battery Exchange Stations Olympia

  3. ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE: GUIDANCE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS 3 HB 1481 Guidance • Introduction • Purpose, relevant state laws, other codes and standards • Sec 1: Model Ordinance • Whereas statements • Sec 2: Model Regulations • Efficiently “allow” EVI • Sec 3: Resources • Glossary, Resource Documents • Appendices • Installation guides, installation checklists, research documents • Explanatory Comments

  4. ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE: GUIDANCE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS 4 Sec 2. Model Regulations & Guidance • Illustrative chapters–reflected differently in different jurisdictions • Guidance where regulations not needed or standards do not exist House Bill 1481 Guidance • Quickly show some sections

  5. Examples of Definitions ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE: GUIDANCE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS Development Regulations • 1.1 “Battery Charging Station” • Level 1, 2, and 3 (rapid charging stations) • 1.4 “Charging Levels” • Level 1, 2, and 3 (user focus, evolving standards) • 1.6 “Electric Vehicle” • BEV, PHEV, NEV, MSEV; (not hybrids (enforcement)) • 1.7 “Electric Vehicle Charging Station” • Space, EV equipment, and electric vehicle • Permitted outright as accessory use if Level 1 and 2 House Bill 1481 Guidance

  6. Vehicles and Traffic ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE: GUIDANCE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS Development Regulations • General Provisions • EVs can park in any legal space • Prohibitions • At EV charging station, must be EV, must be charging • Charging defined as connected to equipment • Noticing (Signage) • Three signs (EV charging station, charging only, duration) • Violations and Penalties • Infraction, fine amount reference, towing • CA experience: ICEd and Hybrided at EV Charge Stations House Bill 1481 Guidance

  7. Zoning – Allowed Uses Table ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE: GUIDANCE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS Development Regulations House Bill 1481 Guidance • Beyond minimum (residential charging, critical and NR areas) • In affected zones, regulations cannot preclude but can mitigate

  8. Zoning - Off-Street Charging Stations ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE: GUIDANCE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS Development Regulations for private installations Off-Street EV Charging Stations – • Number of stations • Counts towards minimum parking requirements • Location and Design Criteria • Signage and Demarcation • Accessibility Guidelines • Maintenance • Lighting • Notifications • Signage • Data collection at stations House Bill 1481 Guidance • Best practices – avoids problems

  9. Zoning – Accessibility Guidance Market – supply and demand EV Survey background research Lack of specific WA standard Unique facilities with charging as main purpose ADA parking already in lot ADA provisions for equipment (controls, heights) Hotel room analogy – accessible to all, not dedicated • First EV Charging Station must be accessible • Ratio for subsequent stations ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE: GUIDANCE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS House Bill 1481 Guidance

  10. OPTION: • Adjacent to existing spot • Benefit from existing barrier free route and reach • OPTION: • Alternate site • Must have barrier free route and reach ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE: GUIDANCE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS Zoning – Accessibility House Bill 1481 Guidance

  11. Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE: GUIDANCE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS Regulations - Framework for public installations On-Street EV Charging Stations – • Size • Location • Design Criteria • Signage • Maintenance • Accessibility • Clearance and Sidewalk widths • Location • Lighting • Protection of Equipment • Notification • Data collection during permitting House Bill 1481 Guidance

  12. Signage Examples ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE: GUIDANCE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS Guidance House Bill 1481 Guidance Highways At EV Charging Station - Approved iconic sign - Experimentation being considered - Turn-over and maximize use - Requires enforcement - Avoids ICE/Hybrids - Used in all DOE markets

  13. Additional Information in Report ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE: GUIDANCE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS Residential and Commercial Installation Guidelines Electric Vehicle Owner Survey State Department of Ecology Regulations State Building Code Council Findings State Department of Labor & Industries Findings Glossary, Resource Documents and Appendices House Bill 1481 Process Guidance
