The engineering discipline focused on integrating EV charging into parking facilities — electrical load calculations, panel sizing, conduit routing, load management architecture, and utility coordination.
How does load management reduce costs?
Load management dynamically distributes capacity across chargers, enabling 3–4x more chargers from the same electrical service. This reduces infrastructure costs by 40–70% per charger.
What electrical upgrades are needed for EV charging?
Level 2 needs 208/240V service (manageable for most panels with load management). DCFC requires 480V three-phase, often needing transformer upgrades ($30,000–$80,000).
What is NEVI and how does it affect parking?
The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program sets minimum standards: 4+ chargers at 150 kW each, CCS connectors, 97% uptime. These standards increasingly influence local building codes.
How many EV chargers should a parking lot install?
5–10% of spaces with active chargers, 20–30% with EV-ready conduit. California requires 10% EV-capable. Colorado codes are moving toward similar requirements.
What is the ROI of EV charging infrastructure?
Level 2 chargers generate $150–$400/month each. With 40–60% incentive coverage, payback is 6–18 months. EV spaces also command 15–25% premium parking rates.
