02
Existing-system assessment
- Review the vehicle and charger requirements
- Assess capacity and the proposed cable route
- Compare mounting locations and installation options
- Define applicable permits, commissioning, and operating guidance
03
Key project decisions
- Planning priority
- Review the vehicle and charger requirements
- Scope review
- Assess capacity and the proposed cable route
- Coordination
- Compare mounting locations and installation options
04
Proposed work
- Review the vehicle and charger requirements
- Assess capacity and the proposed cable route
- Compare mounting locations and installation options
- Define applicable permits, commissioning, and operating guidance
05
Inspection requirements
Applicable approvals, inspections, and completion checks must be established for the actual project. This example does not document a completed inspection or test.
06
Completion criteria
