The Federal Workplace Charging Guide was designed to support federal agencies in developing policy documents for workplace charging at their facilities. It offers language that agencies can incorporate into policies to define requirements for charging privately owned vehicles (POVs) on government-owned or leased property. The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act authorizes the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and other federal agencies to install, operate, and maintain electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) for POVs in parking areas used by federal employees and authorized users. It requires the collection of fees to recover the costs of installing, operating, and maintaining this equipment, with certain caveats.
This document offers details for agency facility managers, transportation personnel, employees, and vendors regarding the charging of electric vehicles (EVs) at government-owned and leased buildings. It describes the requirements associated with federal agencies to provide EV charging in publicly accessible sites. The guide also describes various scenarios in which fees should be imposed to cover costs of electricity, EVSE units, and installations.
Federal Workplace Charging Tools
Federal EV Electricity Consumption Calculator
The EV Electricity in GGE Calculator provides a methodology to estimate electricity consumption in kilowatt-hours or gasoline gallon equivalents (GGE) based on electric miles driven in the prior year. While actual energy consumption is preferred for year-end reporting in FAST, the Calculator’s estimates can be sufficient. Electricity consumption in kilowatt-hours is often available on EV dashboards, automotive manufacturer mobile phone applications, or telematics desktop applications.
Federal Workplace Charging Fee Calculator
The FEMP Workplace Charging Fee Calculator is a supplement to the FEMP Federal Workplace Charging Program Guide. This calculator provides a user-friendly approach to determine the necessary fee structures to recoup the costs associated with workplace charging services.
