[Massplanners] EV Charging

[Michael Zehner]

A thought that may or may not be helpful, my prior employer - the Town of Nags Head, NC - was able to work with Master's students from Duke University to develop an EV Action Plan for the Town as a proactive roadmap to plan for the increasing need for EV charging infrastructure. You can find some resources, including the draft plan at the following links: https://nagsheadnc.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Item/4036?fileID=6313 and https://dukespace.lib.duke.edu/dspace/handle/10161/24908 and https://nicholas.duke.edu/news/masters-project-develops-electric-vehicle-action-plan-outer-banks-town I also have a PowerPoint that I'd be happy to share. A little cart before the horse, but the Town's zoning regulations for chargers were updated and refined before this Plan was developed, but I do think the Plan confirmed that those regulations were appropriately supportive .

Best,
Michael

Hi Planners and others,

We wonder if any of you are anticipating the imminence of EV charging in your zoning.  Specifically, do charging spaces affect your parking formula?  If there are more than just a few incidental spots, such as clusters of commercial chargers, like pumps at a gas station, do you have any rules or do we just let the Leafs and Bolts fight it out for dominance?  Are there any fire department concerns?
