1 OVERVIEW

1.1 Configuration Standard Summary

This Configuration Standard Technical Order (CSTO) establishes the functional requirements for Electric Vehicle Support Equipment (EVSE). This CSTO employs Shore Infrastructure Mission Support Business Model (SI-MSBM) to optimize resource allocation in support of Vehicle Program requirements. EVSE consists of electrical infrastructure designed to recharge Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) batteries in order to reduce or eliminate petroleum consumption. For the purposes of this CSTO, PHEV and BEV will be referred to jointly as Electric Vehicles (EV).

In accordance with Executive Order 13834, EPA Acts of 1992 and 2005, Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, DHS directives and the Coast Guard’s Sustainability, Environmental and Energy Policy Statement and Operational Sustainability Performance Plan, the Coast Guard vehicle program must implement vehicle options that optimize fleet performance, lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and reduce costs. PHEV and BEV implementation are important components to achieving compliance with these mandates and guidelines. EVSE is a necessary first step towards the implementation of Government Vehicle (GV) transitions.

This CSTO outlines specific considerations of EVSE to include project prioritization, planning and siting factors, motorpool impacts, equipment standards, construction standards, electrical grid requirements, as well as operation and maintenance requirements. The CSTO further outlines opportunities to advance energy program initiatives related to resiliency, renewable energy inclusion, and advanced metering initiative requirements.

1.2 Applicability

This technical order applies to all new construction and replacement of existing Electric Vehicle Support Equipment classified by classified by UNIFORMAT II G40100603.

1.3 Roles and Responsibilities

The technical authority for this configuration standard is the SILC Commander. Table 1-1 enumerates the roles and responsibilities for establishing the standards defined in this technical order. The following “RASCI” codes are used:

2 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Organization

This section describes EVSE planning factors, equipment requirements, operational requirements, and opportunities to further improve renewable energy and resiliency efforts as well as advanced metering initiatives.

2.2 Planning Factors

2.2.1 EVSE Prioritization

On an annual basis, SILC Engineering Services Division’s Facilities Operations Branch (SILC- ESD-FOB) shall review the number of EVSE charging ports required at all Coast Guard installations with 10 or more EV candidate vehicles. The current projected number of charging ports by site is listed in Appendix A. EV candidate vehicles are any leased vehicles for which General Services Administration (GSA) presently offers an EV option within the corresponding vehicle class (passenger vehicles and light duty sport utility vehicles) or forecasts availability of an EV option within the corresponding vehicle class within the next 10 years (light and medium duty trucks, as well as medium duty sport utility vehicles).

EVSE shall be prioritized to maximize return on investment. Units with 10 or more current EV candidates shall be considered for EVSE construction. Within this pool of units, local market conditions and demand signals shall be evaluated to ensure EV operator success. For example, while a unit has 17 current EV candidates, extreme winter weather in this location negatively impacts EV battery life expectancy, snow removal operations jeopardize potential infrastructure, and local market trends do not support off base EV charging. For these reasons, the example unit remains a low priority for EVSE investment despite their immediate pool of EV candidates.

Units with motorpools of fewer than 10 current EV candidates may be considered for EVSE investment based upon cost savings opportunities. Cost savings opportunities may come in the form of government rebates, state and utility company initiatives, as well as construction cost avoidance through the coordination of overlapping work packages. Civil Engineering Units (CEU) and Facilities Design and Construction Center (FDCC) design engineers should contact the EV Infrastructure Manager to ascertain if planned electrical and paving work packages overlap with future EVSE investment opportunities. For example, the Base Boston Major Acquisition Shore Infrastructure project included both paving and electrical upgrades. To prevent dual contractor mobilization as well as saw cutting, patching, and repaving newly installed asphalt, an AFC-43 funded unit work item for installation of EVSE was developed and released with the contract solicitation.

Benefits of saturating a geographic area of operation may further warrant EVSE investment at installations with smaller motorpools. Geographic saturation increases the electric range of EV such that PHEV fuel usage and emissions are minimized when commuting amongst area commands.

EVSE infrastructure shall be prioritized and constructed such that one charging port is provided for every 2.5 EV candidates. The number of EV candidates shall be based upon all vehicles assigned to an installation regardless of existing motorpool status and confirmed with SILC- ESD-FOB prior to the obligation of any funds associated with EVSE construction.

Appropriated funds shall not be used to fund the construction of EVSE to support personally owned vehicles. Employee demand signals for EVSE access shall not be considered when designing and prioritizing the number of charging ports to be installed.

SILC-ESD-FOB manages AFC-43 EVSE funding to further EV transition efforts through centralized prioritization, and management of a limited number of EVSE construction projects annually. Five-year EVSE project prioritization plans are available on the SILC-ESD-FOB Portal page.

In addition to these projects, SILC-ESD-FOB seeks to construct EVSE in conjunction with regularly scheduled CEU and FDCC construction projects. SILC-ESD-FOB should be consulted during the design phase of all major electrical and paving projects to ascertain viability of EVSE inclusion. If the project aligns with EVSE investment and funding priorities and possesses overlapping work packages, SILC-ESD-FOB will provide the EVSE scope of work as well as independent government estimate to be included in project solicitation as a unit bid item. AFC- 43 funding will be provided to cover the cost of the EVSE work package and may be transferred to the executing contracting office upon solicitation and/or award of the unit bid item at contracting office discretion. Additional supporting documentation for EVSE infrastructure can be found on the SILC-ESD-FOB Portal page:

CG Portal SILC Engineering Services Division Facilities Operations Branch

2.2.2 Siting Factors

All EV charging infrastructure at an installation shall be centrally located to minimize construction costs. In the case of installations possessing multiple commands, facilities engineering staffs and unit representatives will be consulted to identify a mutually beneficial location. Preference will be given to locations adjacent to electrical infrastructure capable of supporting EVSE and which minimize trenching and boring.

Equipment shall be sited to maximize vehicular access while minimizing construction costs.

Whenever feasible, each dual port charging station should be located to accommodate up to four parking spaces. At minimum, each dual port charging station shall serve two parking spaces. Parking lots should not be reconfigured solely for the purpose of accommodating EVSE siting.

Each level 2 charging station shall provide two SAE J1772 connectors and cord sets with a minimum length of 15 feet. Cable holders and connector docks shall be provided with charging units to keep charge cords off the ground and neatly stored between uses. Equipment may be wall or pedestal mounted.

Connectors must be able to function simultaneously, i.e. charge two vehicles at once. If electrical grid capacity is limited, power sharing functionality may be considered. Power share technology provides full power charging for one vehicle and splits power draw when two vehicles are connected, thus maximizing the number of available ports while minimizing peak EVSE energy demands. All EVSE shall be designed to use 208 volt/240 volt alternating current input.

Charging stations must include visual operational status indicators to include at minimum:

Ready to Charge, Charging, Complete, and Fault or equivalent. EVSE shall have built-in electric nuisance tripping avoidance and auto-reclosure features.

Charging stations must be capable of accepting direct payment via the WEX fleet fuel card.

Previously installed equipment that lacks this functionality shall remain in service until end of service life. At end of service life, charging stations that lack WEX fleet fuel card direct payment capability shall be recapitalized with equipment possessing this feature.

EVSE shall not require access to Coast Guard networks for connectivity or billing purposes.

Charging stations may utilize cellular data connections or an independent communications transmission service provided and installed by the manufacturer or contractor. There shall be no direct feed between EVSE and Coast Guard data systems. EVSE that provides usage and billing data via an independent website that can be accessed and/or managed from a Coast Guard work station are acceptable.

All equipment, parts, and materials shall be appropriate or protected in such a way as to be appropriate for outdoor use and continuous exposure to temperatures, humidity, and marine air characteristic of the local climate. At minimum, charging stations shall be rated to maintain consistent operations at ambient temperatures between 0 degrees Fahrenheit and 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

2.3.2 Construction Standards

The contractor shall be responsible for all design, procurement, fabrication, site assessment, site preparation, construction, testing, and any other work necessary for the proper installation and commissioning of EVSE when funded by an AFC-43 contract action.

The contractor shall conform to the rules and regulations as set forth by OSHA Safety and Health Standards, 29 CFR Part 1926 - Safety and Health Regulations for Construction. The contractor shall have a written safety plan as required by Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR 5.236-13). The plan shall unequivocally assign responsibility and authority for safety to the superintendent by name. All standard construction safety clauses shall apply.

All work shall conform to relevant Federal, State, and regional codes and practices. EVSE construction and installation must specifically follow NFPA 70: National Electrical Code, 2020, Chapter 6: Special Equipment, ARTICLE 625 Electric Vehicle Power Transfer Systems.

The contractor shall be responsible for applying for and obtaining applicable certifications, licenses, and permits necessary for the installation and operation of EVSE. All electrical work shall be performed by an electrical contractor licensed in the state where work is to be performed. The contractor shall locate all water, storm, sanitary sewer, communication, power, fuel supply, natural gas, lighting, and any other utilities within ten feet of the proposed construction footprint. Proposed trenching, saw cutting, and/or boring shall be clearly marked in relation to all utilities prior to commencement of any excavation.

Electrical wires shall be routed through an approved conduit or jacket from the circuit panel to the charging unit or receptacle. Conduit runs immediately adjacent to the facility may be mounted. Electrical conduits shall be buried for any runs that cannot be mounted. Where conduit traverses paved surfaces, either boring or saw cutting is permissible. All surfaces damaged during construction shall be restored to pre-construction conditions.

The contractor shall install, test, commission, and provide training for all EVSE prior to acceptance. To ensure proper operation of equipment, the contractor shall oversee a test charge of an EV at each EVSE charging port following installation. Three written copies of equipment operations and maintenance instructions shall be provided.

Pedestal mounted charging stations shall include concrete foundations/charger pads with a top surface of consistent height. Minimum foundation/charger pad height is 2 inches above grade.

Concrete shall have compressive strength of 2,500 PSI at 28 days. American Concrete Institute Specification 301 (ACI 301) compliant forms for concrete placement shall be used. Typically, above grade exposed joints, edges, and external corners of concrete should be chamfered 0.75 inch. However, construction practices at each location should be considered to preserve standard aesthetic appearances.

All EVSE shall be protected with either raised footings, bollards, or vehicle parking stops. EVSE installed near or within normal traffic patterns shall be protected from vehicular impact by bollards. Bollards must have a minimum height of 4 feet above finished grade. Bollards should be constructed of 4-inch diameter schedule 80 galvanized steel pipe filled with concrete, painted safety yellow, and set at least 4 feet below grade. Bolted bollards lack sufficient impact resistance and shall not be utilized. Bollards shall be placed such that all charging stations are protected with a minimum of two bollards, one on each side of the EVSE at a distance of 24 inches on center away (side) and 12 inches on center forward of the EVSE it is protecting whenever practicable. Charging stations serving four parking spaces shall be protected with a minimum of four bollards, one on each side of the EVSE at a distance of 24 inches on center away (side) and 12 inches on center forward as well as at a distance of 24 inches on center away (side) and 12 inches on center behind the EVSE it is protecting whenever practicable.

Additional details are provided in Figure 2-3: Charging Station Layout.

All parking spaces served by EVSE shall be denoted as solely for the use of electric vehicles.

Installation of physical signs which indicate “Electric Vehicle Parking Only”, “Government Vehicle Parking”, or “Government and Electric Vehicle Parking” or equivalent verbiage are preferred. However, in order to preserve standard aesthetic appearances, pavement markings may be considered. If pavement marking is employed, all parking spaces served by EVSE shall have green parking lines with “GV/EV Only” or equivalent verbiage clearly stenciled using at minimum 10-inch letters.

All construction materials shall be appropriate or protected in such a way as to be appropriate for outdoor use and continuous exposure to temperatures, humidity, and marine air characteristic of the local climate. A sample statement of work is provided in Appendix B.

Figure 2-3: Charging Station Layout

2.3.3 Electrical Standards

The contractor shall evaluate the capacity of the facility's existing electrical distribution equipment and determine whether or not the existing electrical systems can support the new EVSE in accordance with the National Electrical Code and without causing electrical overload.

Construction shall commence only upon confirmation that existing electrical distribution system has sufficient capacity. Submit a One-Line Diagram of the existing base electrical distribution system to include a narrative of whether or not the existing base systems can support the

EVSE. Show electrical panels, switchboards, and/or transformers that will either support the new electrical equipment or will require upgrading. A registered professional engineer shall perform and submit an evaluation of the existing electrical load to the Coast Guard for review and acceptance prior to the start of any construction. Any modifications to the electrical distribution system necessary to support proposed EVSE shall be reviewed by a registered professional electrical engineer prior to the commencement of site work.

Electric installations shall be designed in accordance with local standard voltages and distribution standards. All EVSE shall be installed on dedicated, sub-metered circuits with 2-pole, 40 amp, 208-240 volt alternating current, 60 hertz, non-GFCI circuit breakers. Level 2 SAE J1772 compliant EVSE has built in GFCI protection; no additional GFCI protection upstream of the charging unit should be installed.

2.4 Operational Requirements

2.4.1 PHEV and EV Procurement

Prior to commencing any design activities associated with the construction or installation of EVSE, SILC-ESD-FOB should be contacted to confirm the number of PHEV and EV candidates to be served. Sufficient charging ports shall be installed to support PHEV and EV candidate vehicles at a rate of 1 charging port for every 2.5 candidate vehicles. Appropriated funds shall not be used to fund the construction of EVSE to support personally owned vehicles.

When feasible, the total number of charging ports required at a site should be constructed under one EVSE construction contract. However, site congestion, existing electrical grid capacity, evolving mission requirements, and long term site plans should be considered and may necessitate phased implementation of EVSE at an installation.

Upon planning factor and siting concurrence, SILC-ESD-FOB will evaluate GV lease statuses at the installation receiving EVSE as well as those of surrounding units to expedite delivery of EV.

Vehicle recapitalizations will be conducted with a preference to have corresponding EVSE construction contracts awarded prior to the delivery of any EV. At no point will a BEV be ordered with an expected delivery date that precedes completion of EVSE construction. PHEV may be delivered prior to construction final acceptance to facilitate equipment test charges.

2.4.2 EVSE Maintenance

EVSE shall be enrolled in Coast Guard equipment and maintenance databases as described in SILC’s Equipment Enrollment PGTO and Shore Asset Management Job Guide. EVSE shall be enrolled using UNIFORMAT II classification G40100603. EVSE is considered equipment tied to the Electrical Power Distribution Line Cat Code 812-32. In the case of EVSE supplied directly from a PV Carport, EVSE shall be enrolled as equipment tied to the Photovoltaic System CatCode 811-50. Include warranty information in the enrollment.

EVSE requires minimal routine maintenance. A visual inspection should be performed by the operator whenever commencing a vehicle charge. This visual inspection should include an examination of the charging connector, cables, and operational controls. Charging connectors should be examined for excessive corrosion as well as bent or damaged prongs. Connector cables should be inspected to ensure they are not frayed, punctured, or lacerated. Vehicle https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/silc/ESD/configurationManagement/Approved%20TOs/Equipment%20Enrollment%20PGTO.pdf https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/silc/ESD/configurationManagement/Approved%20TOs/SAM%20Organizational%20Level%20Maintenance%20Job%20Guide%20(v5.0).pdf operators should also note any visual operational status indicators of Fault or equivalent as indicated by the charging unit.

Discrepancies noted during the visual inspection should be immediately brought to the attention of the local engineering officer, engineering petty officer, or facilities engineer. Equipment should be tagged out until repairs are complete.

If the construction warranty remains in effect, repairs should be coordinated directly with the contractor that performed installation. Repairs outside the construction warranty should be coordinated directly with the equipment manufacturer. Most EVSE comes with a warranty period exceeding that of the contractor’s construction warranty which may enable no-cost correction.

However, even when no warranty remains in effect, charging connectors and cables should not be manually repaired by Coast Guard personnel. Repairs should be coordinated with the equipment manufacturer to preserve EVSE functionality.

2.4.3 EVSE Access Restrictions

In order to prevent unauthorized vehicle charging, all Coast Guard operated charging equipment shall include access controls. Access controls may consist of radio frequency identification devices, physical keys, pin entry, or credit card limitations.

2.5 Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)

All EVSE shall be sub-metered in order to track and isolate energy consumption associated with the operation of GVs. Prior to the design and construction of EVSE, the Regional Energy Manager should be consulted to ascertain if the location in question has or is a target for advanced metering. Installed sub-meters must comply with the AMI CSTO technical requirements for meter and network hardware installation.

EVSE charging stations shall be monitored with an advanced electrical meter, and incorporated into the existing Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system. Only the total installed electric GV load needs to be monitored; individual charging ports do not need to have dedicated electric meters. If dedicated main distribution panels (MDP) are installed to supply electric vehicle charging stations, then one advanced electric meter will need to be installed at the main feed for the MDP. Branch circuits fed from mixed use MDP’s will need to be individually monitored to capture EV load.

Additional network hardware and internet connection may be required to connect meter data to the electronic data management system; this may include installing wireless transceivers (Modhoppers), Data Acquisition Servers (DAS’s), or cellular modems. SILC-ESD and CG-43 may need to be consulted on specific network configuration details.
