Best Practices for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Installations in the National Parks: Challenges, Lessons Learned, Installation Best Practices, and Recommendations for the National Park Service

Kay Kelly, Stacy Noblet, Abby Brown

Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

This report captures challenges, lessons learned, and best practices from recent National Park Service (NPS) electric vehicle supply equipment projects based on interviews with NPS employees and stakeholders involved in the projects. The report summarizes notable takeaways and makes recommendations to help ensure the success of future charging installation projects. Preserving this information will be valuable for informing and ensuring the success of future charging installation efforts at national parks, as well as for organizations outside of NPS. Note that this report focuses on light-duty plug-in electric vehicle projects, though NPS is also pursuing medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicle efforts.
