Charging Station Technology Review
With the imminent rollout/adoption of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), there is a clear and present need for charging stations, also referred to as electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE).

Community Planning Guide for Plug-in Electric Vehicles
The future of transportation is here, and it's knocking at your door! Our day-to-day means of transportation is changing, and the more municipalities, business leaders, utilities and end-users know about Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs), the more prepared they will be to embrace the "vehicles of tomorrow" today. Consumers are already purchasing PEVs such as the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt. With their purchase, they will be expecting their workplaces, homes, communities and retail outlets to be equipped with the necessary electric vehicle supply equipment – better known as charging stations – and the supporting infrastructure to operate their vehicles.

This guide has been developed to help communities with all aspects of planning and preparing for the expected influx of PEVs, including best practices on installation, codes, standards, permitting and inspections, as well as information on municipal and utility involvement, and community outreach and education. For more than 10 years, Advanced Energy's Electric Transportation sector has been collaborating with stakeholders across the United States in PEV initiatives. We share our expertise with you to simplify the integration of electric transportation into your community.
