Are the elements of path of travel and accessible routes substantively the same (such as slope, vertical clearance, width of path of travel, etc.)?
Accessible route is a fundamental term used to describe, “A continuous unobstructed path connecting accessible elements and spaces of an accessible site, building or facility that can be...
-
When do path of travel and/or accessible routes apply? …new construction? …alterations to a parking area? …alterations to a building associated with parking, such as expansion or remodel?
RESPONSE: In each case EVCS required to be accessible must have an accessible route to the facility entrance (see CBC Section 11B-812.5.1) and an accessible route from the vehicle space...

If a property owner hits the 20% cost cap on path of travel improvements when installing charging stations, are there any other accessibility site retrofits that would still be required?
RESPONSE: EVCS required to be accessible by CBC Chapter 11B must have both, an accessible route to the facility entrance (see CBC Section 11B-812.5.1) and an accessible route from the vehicle...

Can a single EV charger service two EV Accessible spots or does each spot have to have its own charger?
RESPONSE: A single multiport EV charger that can simultaneously charge two vehicles can be used to serve two EV spaces required to be accessible....

How can we address locations that do not have excess parking spaces and currently, cannot pass through plan check because the code says it’s now a “charging space” not a “parking space”? With the current requirements, you need more Van Accessible and ADA reserved parking spaces than required under code with the combination of EV charging and standard spaces. It puts an impossible burden on small parking lots in Irvine and San Diego which are strictly enforcing the interpretation of charging spaces.
Consistent with the state’s policies on electric vehicles, DSA encourages city and county officials to recognize the necessary impact of EVCS and adopt responsive ordinances consistent with...

Looking at Cal Green 5.106.5.3, we must provide the conduits and panel capacity for future installation for the required number of spaces (2 in this case). However, it is only when the equipment is to be installed that we need to refer to CBC and CEC. Section 11B-228.3.1 also reiterates this. Therefore, we would show the location of the conduit stub outs adjacent to 2 current parking spaces and would show space on the electric panel for the future equipment – and that is all. At this time, we do not need to show the requirements for EV accessibility when equipment is installed per Chapter 11B. Is my interpretation correct?
RESPONSE: CBC Chapter 11B accessibility provisions for EVCS apply when a project consists of one or more electric vehicle charging spaces served by an electric vehicle charger or other charging...

We are also being asked to show the future space for the 1 Van accessible EV space that would be required in the future, if the equipment was installed. And due to the requirement for the access aisle beside this space, in the future it would be converted to an access aisle resulting in the loss of one parking space. As this project is right at the required number of parking spaces per zoning, it is not acceptable to the zoning reviewer to sign off on a plan that shows a “future access aisle for future EV van accessible charging space,” as they are approving the loss of a parking space, even though this would not happen until a future condition, upon which I assume there would be some review process for installation of EV charging equipment. What is the appropriate path forward in this situation?

On existing locations when we add an EV station as van accessible how do we address taking two spaces from the facility (losing a space) and then not having the mandatory spaces remaining for the facility?

I fully support ADA requirements and the DGS' efforts. We are reconstructing a 325 space parking lot. 8% will be EVSE ready. 32 EVSE will be installed initially. Including EVSE required ADA spaces, new plan results in 322 spaces. Parking facility no longer complies with minimum parking requirements for facilities. Any suggestions for resolving this conflict for reworking of existing sites subject to CALGreen?
You could consider requesting a variance from full compliance with the parking requirements substantiated by the benefits of electrical vehicle use which relies on installed infrastructure...

CAL Green requires x number of EVSE per xxx number of spaces - each on its own 40 amp circuit. Some dual EVSE are on a single 40 amp circuit and split the 40 amp. Does this mean that half of those plugs don't comply with the required number?
RESPONSE: The California Green Code appears to require service panels, sub-panels, and raceway of sufficient capacity to accommodate 40 amp circuits rather than mandating one 40 amp...

Can you provide recommended signage for ADA accessible spaces?
RESPONSE: Required identification signs for accessible EVCS vehicle spaces are indicated in CBC Chapter 11B Section 11B-812.8 and required vehicle space surface markings are indicated in...
