EV Charging Points
This submission is noted. As set out in Chapter 11 of the Draft Plan, to encourage the use of Electric Vehicles (EV) developments shall provide the following minimum standards for EV charging points and infrastructure: • Multi-unit residential developments shall provide a minimum of one EV equipped parking space per five car parking. All other parking spaces shall be developed with appropriate infrastructure (ducting) that enables future installation of a charging point for EVs. • New dwellings with on-site car parking should be developed with appropriate infrastructure (ducting) that enables future installation of a charging point for EVs. • Other / non-residential development with more than 10 spaces shall provide at least 1 parking space equipped with a functioning EV charging point and at least 20% of spaces shall incorporate appropriate infrastructure (ducting) to allow for future fit out of a charging point. • Publicly accessible EV parking spaces should be clearly marked and be capable of communicating usage data with the National Charge Point Management System. EV parking spaces for disabled spaces should also be included in the development where these exist. • EV charging points will also be a requirement of applications for new filling stations. Recommendation: No change.
Submission suggests that the plan must not only facilitate but encourage the incorporation of electric charge points throughout the City and in residential, community and commercial settings. It must also set the scene for the inevitable integration of hydrogen into the mobility mix and facilitate and promote its proactive rollout.
