Read the first 7 Infrastructure Planning and Development flashcards as text

  1. When performing a site assessment for EVSE installation, which utility document is most critical to obtain first?

    Answer: Existing service entrance capacity report

    The existing service entrance capacity report determines whether the utility can support added EV load without costly upgrades.

  2. A parking facility wants to install Level 2 EVSE in 20% of spaces as required by a local ordinance. Which planning step ensures future scalability?

    Answer: Running conduit sleeves to all spaces but wiring only the required 20%

    Make-ready infrastructure—conduit without wiring—allows cost-effective future expansion without tearing up pavement.

  3. Under the ADA, what is the minimum number of accessible EV charging spaces required when a facility installs 10 total EVSE spaces?

    Answer: 1

    ADA guidelines specify at least 1 accessible EV charging space for every 1–25 total EV spaces provided.

  4. Which load management strategy is best suited for a multi-tenant commercial building seeking to add EVSE without upgrading the utility transformer?

    Answer: Dynamic load management software that throttles charging based on building demand

    Dynamic load management allocates available amperage across chargers in real time, preventing transformer overload.

  5. A project in a coastal region requires EVSE rated for a wet, salt-air environment. What minimum NEMA enclosure rating applies to the charger cabinet?

    Answer: NEMA 4X

    NEMA 4X provides protection against corrosion, windblown dust, and hose-directed water, making it suitable for coastal salt-air environments.

  6. During infrastructure planning, which factor most directly determines whether a site needs a demand charge management system?

    Answer: Utility rate structure with significant demand charges

    Demand charges are based on peak power draw; a utility rate with high demand charges makes management systems economically necessary.

  7. What is the primary purpose of a traffic impact analysis during EVSE site planning in a high-density urban area?

    Answer: To assess queuing and circulation effects of drivers waiting for available chargers

    A traffic impact analysis evaluates how driver queuing and circulation patterns for EVSE could affect surrounding roadways.
