Read the first 7 Infrastructure Planning and Development flashcards as text

  1. What is the primary role of a Charging Network Management System (CNMS) in a large EVSE deployment?

    Answer: Remotely monitoring, managing sessions, and processing payments across multiple chargers

    A CNMS provides remote visibility and control over charger status, session data, billing, and maintenance alerts across a network.

  2. Which open communication protocol is required by NEVI standards to ensure charger interoperability with different network providers?

    Answer: OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol)

    OCPP is an open standard mandated by NEVI to allow any compliant charger to communicate with any network management system.

  3. A school district wants to use its EV school bus fleet batteries to provide grid services at night. What technology enables this use case?

    Answer: Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) bidirectional charging

    V2G technology allows EVs to discharge stored energy back to the grid, enabling the battery fleet to act as a distributed energy resource.

  4. During the environmental review for a new public EVSE corridor project, which document is required under NEPA for projects with significant federal involvement?

    Answer: Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

    NEPA requires an Environmental Assessment or full EIS for federally funded projects to evaluate environmental impacts before approval.

  5. A highway rest area EVSE project must comply with NEVI uptime requirements. What minimum operational availability percentage must each port achieve?

    Answer: 95%

    NEVI standards require funded EVSE ports to achieve at least 97% uptime, commonly rounded in guidance to a 95%+ operational threshold.

  6. Which signage requirement applies to ADA-accessible EVSE spaces under federal accessibility standards?

    Answer: International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) sign posted at each accessible EV space

    ADA standards require the International Symbol of Accessibility posted at accessible EV charging spaces to identify them for persons with disabilities.

  7. A project manager is developing a master infrastructure plan for a regional EV charging network. Which planning tool best models future charging demand under different EV adoption scenarios?

    Answer: Travel demand modeling software integrated with EV adoption forecasts

    Travel demand models combined with EV adoption scenarios project where and when charging demand will emerge, guiding infrastructure investment.
