Nevermind I did re-read, and there are indeed 4 ChargePoint spaces.
I re-assert that it is wasteful to build ev infrastructure that 25% of it is dedicated to handicap. You may thing it’s morally wrong to think this, but I’d argue we have a stronger moral obligation to build renewable infrastructure first.
Makes sense to dedicate handicap spots once you have 20-30 chargers, not 3-4.
Maybe they should make the law so you have to have the charger accessible by both a normal spot and a handicap spot so that the infrastructure is well utilized and handicap spots are available for charging.
So it looks like rules are different for small and large charging stations:
Identification for accessibility
Installations of 1-4 EVCS
- No identification signs required
- While an accessible EV space is designed for
accessibility, its use is available to everyone and not limited to those with access license plates or placards
Installations of 5-25 EVCS
- One van accessible EV space shall be identified with an
ISA; the standard accessible EV space shall not be required to be identified with an ISA
