EV Capable means adequate electrical power is brought to the site with space reserved for future panels and breakers, capacity banked, nothing usable yet. In a parking facility:
- In large facilities, PCC recommends home runs at higher voltage to local electrical rooms rather than individual conduits from the main room to every future charger.
Considerations
- Capable, Ready, and Installed price very differently; know which word the local ordinance actually wrote. EV Capable is the cheapest stage to buy while the building is open, and the most expensive to add later.
