"Battery charging station" means an electrical component assembly or cluster or component assemblies designed specifically to charge batteries within electric vehicles, which meet or exceed any standards, codes, and regulations set forth by Chapter 19.28 RCW or as it may be amended and consistent with rules adopted under RCW 19.27.540 or as it may be amended. "Battery electric vehicle (BEV)" means a type of electric vehicle (EV) that uses chemical energy stored in rechargeable battery packs. As with other electric vehicles, BEVs use electric motors and motor controllers instead of internal combustion engines (ICEs) for propulsion. Sometimes, all -electric vehicles are referred to as BEVs (although a plug-in hybrid vehicle is also a battery electric vehicle). "Battery exchange station" means a fully automated facility that will enable an electric vehicle with a swappable battery to enter a drive lane and exchange the depleted battery with a fully charged battery through a fully automated process, which meets or exceeds any standards, codes, and regulations set forth by Chapter 19.27 RCW or as it may be amended and consistent with rules adopted under RCW 19.27.540 or as it may be amended. "Charging levels" means the electrical force, or voltage, at which an electric vehicle's battery is recharged. Levels 1, 2, and 3 are the most common EV charging levels, and include the following specifications: (a) Level 1 is considered slow charging. It requires a 15- or 20-amp breaker on a 120-volt AC circuit and standard outlet. This level of charging can fully recharge a BEV between eight and 32 hours and a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) between three and 15 hours. (b) Level 2 is considered medium charging. It requires a 40-amp to 100- amp breaker on a 240-volt AC circuit. This level of charging can fully recharge a BEV between four and six hours and a PHEV between one and two hours. Ordinance — Amending PMC — 25 "Zoning" - 45 (c) Level 3 is considered fast charging. It requires a 60-amp or higher dedicated breaker on a 480-volt or higher three-phase circuit with special grounding equipment. Level 3 charging uses an off -board charger to provide the AC to DC conversion, delivering DC directly to the car battery. Charging time ranges from 25 to 40 minutes for BEVs and less than 20 minutes for PHEVs. "Electric motorcycle," also referred to as an e-motorcycle, means a two- or three - wheeled vehicle that operates, either partially or exclusively, on electrical energy from the grid, or an off -board source, that is stored on board for motive purpose. "Electric vehicle" means any vehicle that operates, either partially or exclusively, on electrical energy from the grid, or an off -board source, that is stored on board for motive purpose. "Electric vehicle" includes: (a) Battery electric vehicle (BEV); (b) Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV); (c) Neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV); (d) Medium -speed electric vehicle; and (e) Electric motorcycles. "Electric vehicle charging station" means a public or private parking space located together with a battery charging station which permits the transfer of electric energy (by conductive or inductive means) to a battery or other storage device in an electric vehicle. An electric vehicle charging station is permitted as an accessory use to any principal use. However, only a private battery charging station is permitted in a residential neighborhood. "Electric vehicle infrastructure" where permitted means structures, machinery, and equipment necessary and integral to support an electric vehicle, including battery charging stations, rapid charging stations, and battery exchange stations. "Electric vehicle parking space" means any marked parking space that identifies the use to be exclusively for an electric vehicle. "Medium -speed electric vehicle" means a self-propelled, electrically powered four - wheeled motor vehicle, equipped with a roll cage or crush -proof body design, whose speed attainable in one mile is more than 25 miles per hour but not more than 35 miles per hour and otherwise meets or exceeds the federal regulations set forth in 49 C.F.R. 571.500. Ordinance — Amending PMC — 25 "Zoning" - 46 "Neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV)" means an electric vehicle that is capable of traveling at a maximum speed of 25 miles per hour. "Plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV)" means a hybrid with high -capacity battery that can be charged by plugging it into an electrical outlet or charging station. Such vehicles can store enough electricity to significantly reduce their petroleum use under typical driving conditions. "Rapid charging station" means an industrial grade electrical outlet that allows for faster recharging of electric vehicle batteries through higher power levels, which meets or exceeds any standards, codes, and regulations set forth by Chapter 19.28 RCW or as it may be amended and consistent with rules adopted under RCW 19.27.540 or as it may be amended.
