Green Star FAQs

The GBCA defines electric vehicle charging infrastructure as the provision of a standard domestic, commercial or industrial power outlet, or wiring to enable the future installation of electric vehicle charging equipment without the electric vehicle charging equipment itself being installed at the time of practical completion, thus making the project electric vehicle ready in the future.

For projects registered under the Green Star - Design & As Built v1.3 and earlier versions, the GBCA recommends that for the 5% of the car parking spaces provided with the electric vehicle charging infrastructure as a minimum must have:

• At least 2 car parking spaces provided with an electric vehicle charging unit with a dual-port; and
• An industry-standard socket outlet to facilitate recharging an electric vehicle; and;
• Has communications capabilities which may be used to enable a load management system.

For projects registered under the Green Star Buildings rating tool, it is expected all 5% of the car parking spaces provided with the electric vehicle charging infrastructure are provided with an electric vehicle charging unit at the time of practical completion. Please refer to the Green Star Building - Movement and Place credit for further details.
