EV Building Blocks: Planning, Design, & Construction Considerations for EVSE Implementation in Parking Facilities — Thu, June 29, 2023

Panel

Planning for the installation or upgrade of electric vehicle charging infrastructure is both complex and comprehensive regardless of location.  Planning new or enhanced EVCS in a structured parking facility adds yet another layer of detail and expertise from planners, engineers, architects, and construction experts.  Starting with a facility assessment of current electrical capacity, through selecting charging speed and anticipating future demand and electrical capacity – owners and operators have a great variety of considerations that are impacted greatly by location, structure type, and more. Join this session with experts from the International Parking & Mobility Institute’s (IPMI) Planning, Design, and Construction Committee to assess these considerations, make informed and strategic decisions, and apply best practices for EVCS deployment in structured parking.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand planning, design, and construction considerations specific to installing EVSE in structured parking facilities. 
  • Explore the critical role of EV-readiness facility assessment to review needs, and considerations, including the electrical load, capacity, and proposed level of EVSE.
  • Match infrastructure needs and output to the patrons' expectations and experience.  
  • Learn how to assess whether to continue with existing infrastructure at a decided level of charging or to add capacity.
  • Discuss adaptive load management (ALM) and its impact to your operations.
