Looking for opinions on handicap parking requirements for EV spaces. For conversation purposes refer to the 2015 and 2021 IBC. Generally IBC Chapter 11 has required handicap spaces for each “type” (i.e. covered, uncovered, etc.) of parking. Would you consider an EV space to be a different “type” of parking? If so, IF EV spaces are Provided would a handicap EV space be required, also would the first handicap EV space have to be van accessible? Note, the 2021 IBC Chapter 11 has dimensional requirements but is “silent” as to when a handicap EV space is required. I see this becoming a real issue/problem with the push for more EV’s. Any input, suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ken
