Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station Permit Project

Request for Interest “Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station Permit Project” Background The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is seeking interested responsible jurisdictions to assist their efforts with permitting electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The overall objective of this effort is to increase the efficiency of the permitting process for EV charging stations. One option that can be used to increase the process efficiency is a standard permit for EV charging stations that would allow applicants to proceed with charging station installation if they agree to the permit conditions. This standard permit or permit template has been used for installations where the equipment is relatively homogeneous. The expectation is that EV charging stations will be relatively homogeneous. NREL Support NREL is interested in working with jurisdictions in streamlining their processes for EV charging station permitting. NREL’s assistance could take the form of: • implementation of a permit template that NREL has developed, • providing background information on EV charging equipment or vehicles, or • providing general safety information. If your jurisdiction is interested in working with NREL, please contact one of the individuals listed below. NREL Contact Information Carl Rivkin, P.E.
