Local community

Approximately how many visitors come to the site or nearby destinations per day, if known?

11 Days/Hours site facility is open: M-F, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Days/Hours station will be publicly available:

Federal regulations laid out in 23 CFR Part 680 require federally funded EV charging stations to be open to the public at least as frequently as the business operating hours of the site host.

DCFC stations installed within a mile of a designated alternative fuel corridor and intended to serve travelers through the community must be open 24/7.

Are there any physical barriers that prevent access to the charging station? If so, when are they deployed?

Yes; parking lot gate closed at 7:00 pm daily

35 How was the project budget determined?

Estimates were provided by the Deployment Dream Team

A charging station is defined as the area in the immediate vicinity of a group of chargers and includes the chargers, supporting equipment, charging areas adjacent to the chargers, and lanes for vehicle ingress and egress. A charging port is defined as the system within a charger that charges one EV. A charging port may have multiple connectors, but it can provide power to charge only one EV through one connector at a time. Federal regulations laid out in 23 CFR Part 680 require federally funded EV charging stations to have at least 4 network-connected ports capable of dispending power simultaneously. The SAE J1772 connector is the standard for Level 2 stations and SAE CCS for DCFC stations. It is expected that all DCFC stations will offer at least one SAE J3400/North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector.

NCTCOG will administer the procurement of the EV charging vendor to ensure compliance with all federal requirements on the chargers. Selected applicants will have the opportunity to provide input on the charger procurement.

No

Is the site at or near a historical property (45 years old or older)?

No

Will additional lighting be needed and will it be nearby residential properties?

No, site has lighting.

Will traffic increase to the site and cause an increase in noise levels?

Possible slight increase in road noise or site traffic, though EVs are quiet.

Scoring Criteria Example

Closest existing public access EV charging station (address and driving distance):

Nearby stations can be found using a number of different mapping tools, including PlugShare, ChargeFinder, and the Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC) Station Locator. If you know of any existing sites that are not currently listed on the AFDC Station Locator, please send those details to cleancities@nctcog.org.

Please provide additional reasons any existing charging stations may not support the area’s needs.

Available chargers are at hotels that intend them for guests, not truly "public"
