Inquiry

Our project is a new branch library for the City of Dallas. The project is registered under LEED-NC version 2.1. The project has a total of 102 parking spaces. 4 of these spaces will be designated for electric vehicles (long range level II electric vehicles). Each of the 4 EV spaces will be equipped with an "EV Power Pak" by Avcon Corporation to provide power to the electric vehicle. The unit provides up to 32 amps at 240 volts AC. The EV Power Pak is a power control station w/ cable and connector for EVs that have on-board chargers. Our research indicates that all new production electric vehicles are equipped with on-board chargers. Also, the EV Power Pak is identified as a compatible power source for vehicles developed by Commuter Cars Corporation. Although not readily available, the development of the plug-in hybrid will also require a power source and not a charging station. We believe providing these power control stations instead of EV Battery Chargers meet the intent of the credit. Will this approach fulfill the requirements for LEED-NC version 2.1 SS Credit 4.3? If not, please advise.
