This final report documents the planning, budget, specifications, and usage of battery-electric vehicle chargers installed at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area of the United States National Park Service and operated by the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. This was made possible through the California Energy Commission grant ARV-13-041. This report also provides an overview of the data collected from January 27, 2016 to November 2, 2016, as well as various observations and challenges faced during the project.
The project results show that the installation of the charging stations provided a critical addition to the availability of charging stations in San Francisco and Marin County. The stations were designed to provide workplace charging service not only to the employees of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, but also to the park visitors.
