13. Why PEVs are important for your community
• State policy goals require PEVs in large numbers
• PEV owners want to be in PEV friendly communities
• Many incentives are available TODAY
• PEVs address SB 375 (Sustainable Communities)
• 10 cents/kwh = $1.00/gallon; Stable-priced clean fuel
• Model for other communities statewide
13
15. Core Actions to Become Ready
1. Update Zoning and Parking Policies
2. Update Building Codes
3. Streamline Permitting and Inspection Processes
4. Participate in Training and Education Programs
5. Create Outreach Programs
Resources:
• “Community Toolkit for PEV Readiness”
• Additional reports and guides on flash drive
15
16. #1: Update Zoning and Parking Policies
Ensure public infrastructure meets accessibility
requirements and number/location of chargers is
appropriate for parking facility
• Policies should
distinguish between
open access vs.
restricted facilities
• PEV charging station
provides a
“charging Source: ECOtality
16
service”
17. #1: Update Zoning and Parking Policies
Adopt and implement PEV signage policies for
directional instructions and restriction rules
•Highway and surface street signage provide directions
and also create an outreach message
•Parking lot signage communicate rules and restrictions
(time limits, electricity rates, etc)
17
19. #2: Update Building Codes
Update building codes with specifications for PEV
infrastructure
•Specific electric service requirements
•Guidance on # circuits per building type
•Charging installation types (L1, L2, etc)
•Provide physical installation recommendations
•Guidance on methods to estimate load calculations for
varying building types
•Option: Require pre-wiring in new construction
19
21. #3: Streamline Permitting / Inspection
Develop a convenient permit application specific to PEV
infrastructure. Various approaches exist, with varying
costs and time impacts
•Contractor self permit (not recommended)
•Permit - simply on-line system (e.g. www.permitla.org)
•Permit - over the counter w/ scope of work only
•Permit - over the counter w/ plan check requirement
•Permit - full plan check
21
22. #3: Streamline Permitting / Inspection
Implement a permit-inspection-approval process for
PEV infrastructure
•Template based forms for permit application
•One on-site inspection (instead of multiple visits)
•Establish an inspection checklist
•Include pilot periods to revise process as needed
22
24. #4: Participate in Training Programs
Participate in local official training and/or workshops
•Become familiar with PEV infrastructure and install
•Learn best practices for inspection and permitting
•Answer questions on safety
•Learn how to best serve local residents and clients
•Resources include:
• U.S. Dept of Energy (DOE) Clean Cities Coalitions
• CA Employment Training Panel (ETP)
• CA Energy Commission (grant funding)
24
25. #4: Participate in Training Programs
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program
(EVITP)
•1-day educational workshop for local officials and
stakeholders
• Can be hosted in any CA community for nominal
instructor fee
•Multi-day certification program for electricians
• $750,000 from ETP to train 1,100 public or privately-
employed electricians throughout California
• http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy12osti/51228.pdf
25
26. #5: Create Outreach Programs
Implement outreach programs in local communities
•Point to existing resources for general questions about
PEVs, infrastructure, benefits, costs, and more
•Provide community-specific information, such as
• Local permit process,
• List of local contractors,
• Locations of public charging infrastructure
• Local incentives and stakeholder resources
•“Walk the Talk” – Local leaders driving PEVs
•“Driver to Driver” – Word of mouth from owners
26
29. Additional Community Actions
6. Regional Public Charger Site Selection
7. Encourage Workplace Charging
8. Support Electric Utility Needs for Grid Impacts
9. Implement Solutions for Multi-Unit Dwellings
10. Incorporate PEVs into Local Fleets
11. Create Local Incentives
12. Encourage Renewable Energy

32. PEV Sales Expected to Grow
* Assumes 1.6 million CA LDV market sales in 2020
32
33. #2: Update Building Codes
Voluntary measures in CALGreen (Jan 2011)
•A5.106.5.3: EVSE wiring for each space: Provide one
120VAC 20A and one 208/240V 40A outlet
•A5.106.5: Designated Parking Tier 1: Provide 10% of
total parking spaces for qualifying vehicles
Effective July 2012 (residential)
•A4.106.6.1: EV circuit in new
construction
•A4.106.6.2: 3% parking in
multi-family dwellings

34. #4: Participate in Training Programs
Outline of EVITP 1-day educational workshop:
•Codes and standards
•Site assessment
•Load standards and calculations
•Permit process
•Electric utility notification and
integration

35. 6 Key Goals for a PEV Market
• Consumer experiences with PEVs are
overwhelmingly positive
• Ownership costs of PEVs are competitive with
conventional vehicles
• PEV charging integrates smoothly into an
increasingly clean, efficient, reliable, and safe
electricity grid
• PEVs advance energy security, air quality, climate
change, and public health goals
• Early strategic action creates jobs and economic
benefits in California
• The PEV market moves beyond early adopters to 35
