3.4 Placement of the charging station in the environment
3.4.1 Required space
Basic installation of the charging station requires a space of approximately 650 mm x 390 mm.
If the charging station is installed together with safety arches, dimensions of the required space
are approximately 850 mm x 450 mm. Required dimensions are calculated as follows:
• Basic dimensions of the station's base: 350 mm x 200 mm.
• Free space:
- 50 mm in the back
- 150 mm on the left and right side
- 140 mm at the front in order to open the station doors
• Two air vents are built into the station, one on the top of the back side and another in
the middle of the back side. Air vents must not be blocked or obstructed by other items
or objects. When applicable, air vents must be protected from being covered with snow.
• The height of the charging station is 1300 mm.
The charging station is equipped with standard sockets. Charging cables are not a part of the
station's equipment, therefore it is expected that the users carry charging cables in their
vehicles. EV parking places must be placed within the reach of the charging cable. Minimum
length of the charging cable should be 1,5 m (in the case of the most optimal EV parking).
3.4.2 Possible charging station placements
The placement of charging station into its environment must allow easy access to all electric
vehicles for which the station is intended. The charging station can be installed on the
pavement, parking lot, in a parking garage or elsewhere, taking into account the specific
conditions of each of these placements. In all these placement options, the station can also be
installed together with the safety arches. Each different placement has its own requirements as
described below. Due to the station's service doors opening outwards, the space in front of the
station (approximately 50 cm) needs to be free of any obstacles which could prevent the
opening of service doors. Safety arches or car park barriers can be used to prevent direct
contact of vehicles with the charging station.
