“Minimum EVSE” refers to the minimum number of Energized Spaces that must
also be provided with Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), expressed

space that is required under section 7.3(a).

(e) In Table 7.1, “Minimum charging level” refers to the minimum charging level to be

Vehicle Energy Management System is not permitted.

(g) Where L2M is specified in Table 7.1 as the Minimum charging level, an Electric
Vehicle Energy Management System is permitted but is not required.

(h) If a use is not listed in Table 7.1, the number of off-street parking spaces,

use or involves collective parking for more than one building or use, the total
number of off-street parking spaces, Energized Spaces, and Energized Spaces
that must be equipped with Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment shall be the sum of
the various classes of uses calculated separately and any off-street parking
spaces, Energized Spaces, and Energized Spaces that must be equipped with
Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment that are required for one use shall not be
included in the calculations for any other use.

(j) Where the calculation of the total required off-street parking spaces, Energized
