Are the elements of path of travel and accessible routes substantively the same (such as slope, vertical clearance, width of path of travel, etc.)?
EVCS required by CBC Chapter 11B 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 to the...

There is some confusion about whether the “accessible path” that is required means there must be an accessible path from the EVSE (charger) to the facility/building at which the station is installed, or whether the accessible path is just from the parking spot to the EVSE (charger). If the prior is enforced, it could increase the costs of installing EVSE in some instances. What is the correct interpretation of “accessible path”?
EVCS required by CBC Chapter 11B to be accessible must have both, 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....

Many properties do NOT have enough electricity available to support significant charging installations, so for now, utilities and others are doing “make ready” spaces (upgrading the supporting infrastructure in a parking space for future use without adding the actual charger). How would make ready spaces comply with the ADA standards? Additionally, consider a site with 10 make ready spaces. Would the standards apply differently if that site has no chargers presently installed versus having one active charger installed?
Where a vehicle space is not provided with a charger it is not, by definition, an EVCS. CBC Chapter 11B accessibility provisions only apply to vehicle spaces with a charger....
-
For a new public building, if EV charging equipment is not installed at this time, what is the extent of the infrastructure that an installer is required to show for plan check review?
RESPONSE: Plans and specifications must accurately describe the full extent of the work to be performed. Some enforcement jurisdictions (primarily city- and county building...

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...

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...

What are the auditory/braille requirements for EVCS units with a touch screen?

Has there been consideration for electric vehicles being parked in valet mode that could share EVSE and meet the equivalent EVSE option? This could reduce the cost of construction and major electrical upgrades.
RESPONSE: Electric vehicles may be parked by a valet just as any other car....
-
For EV with the charging port at rear of the vehicle, can EV be assumed to be able to back in the parking space for easy access to the charger at the head location?
RESPONSE: This practice is not regulated by the CBC Chapter 11B accessibility provisions. DSA is not aware of any restrictions on this practice.
