Service Description:
EV Infrastructure Strategy
What it is
The EV Infrastructure Strategy synthesizes the findings of the Initial Assessment and the documentation gathered during intake into a practical planning framework the board can act on. The Strategy is the document that turns "we should look at EV charging" into a decision the board can defend to residents, to counsel, and to future buyers.
Who it is for
Boards and property managers that have completed the Initial EV Infrastructure Assessment and are ready to evaluate options, set direction, and prepare for vendor solicitation or capital planning.
What it covers
Review of collected documentation and the findings of the Initial Assessment
Identification of the key planning considerations, constraints, and dependencies specific to the building
Development of an initial range of EV infrastructure approaches appropriate to the building and the ownership structure
Outline of recommended next steps for planning, permitting, procurement, and implementation
What the Client receives
A presentation or memorandum summarizing existing conditions and baseline assumptions, the key considerations impacting EV infrastructure planning, the strategic options and planning pathways available to the building, and the recommended next steps for the board's consideration.
The format is sized to the board's needs. Some clients want a slide deck for a board meeting. Others want a written memorandum for the meeting packet. Both are within scope.
What this service is not
The Strategy is not an engineering design, a load calculation, a permit submittal, or a vendor solicitation. Those outputs come from licensed engineers and from the RFP and Vendor Management service that follows. The Strategy informs and structures those activities. It does not replace them.
Typical timeline
Four to eight weeks from authorization to delivery, depending on the completeness of the documentation and the responsiveness of the building's records.
Dependencies
The Strategy assumes a completed Initial EV Infrastructure Assessment. When a Client requests the Strategy without an Assessment, the Statement of Work will either incorporate the Assessment work or define equivalent intake work as a first phase, sized and priced accordingly.
How this leads to next steps
The Strategy identifies the path forward. When the Client elects to move into procurement, RFP and Vendor Management is authorized through a new Statement of Work. When the Strategy identifies governance changes that have to land before procurement can proceed, HOA Bylaws Amendment Support is authorized through a separate Statement of Work, often in parallel with the RFP work.
