Electric Vehicle Charging Stations, Accessibility: FAQs

Note: This document or portion of document references a state or local requirement that is NOT required by the 2010 ADA Standards.

There does not seem to be a distinction between different EVCS standards (Level 1, Level 2, DC CHAdeMO, DC CCS, and Tesla). Does the schedule defined in Table 11B-228.3.2.1 make a distinction between the different types of EVSE standards or are that all considered to equivalently be an EVCS?

RESPONSE: The CBC Chapter 11B accessibility requirements for EVCS do not distinguish between the different EVCS standards like those listed. However, building officials may view different types of service as separate facilities. Where different types of EVCS service are provided at a location, the code enforcement official must determine the applicability of Table 11B-228.3.2.1.

When developing the CBC Chapter 11B accessibility provisions for EVCS, it was DSA’s intent to provide a reasonable portion of all EVCS facilities as accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities.
