BART revised its permit pricing policy at Warm Springs last October to increase the usage of its EV charging stations.
Pricing also plays a major role in the usage of EV charging stations. Despite finding other use cases at Warm Springs, BART expects EV charging stations at other stations to be primarily used by daily commuters because Warm Springs is an end-of-line station rather than a typical BART station. Evaluation of EV charging patterns have found other common use cases including riders attending evening event/business function/client meeting charging, and weekend charging. Prior to project implementation, BART expected the main use for the EV charging stations to be daily commuters riding BART to work. The EV charging pilot at Warm Springs/South Fremont Station is ongoing. What has BART learned to date from the pilot program at the Warm Springs station?

Majority system-wide survey responders (210 individuals) do not have reliable access to EV charging at home (52%) or at work (72%).A few dozen responders to the Warm Springs survey site difficulty with permitting and high charging costs as reasons for not charging their EVs at Warm Springs station.>90% EV owners from both surveys are more inclined to drive to a BART Station that has EV charging available (107, 30 responses).>90% EV owners and >60% of non-EV owners responding to the system wide survey are in favor of more EV charging (107, 104 responses).We received just over 300 responses and the number of responses in parentheses below refer to all BART riders and Warm Springs riders respectively. Can you share results of the consumer survey you did regarding charging at the Warm Springs station?īART conducted two surveys related to EV charging last year(2018), one focused on our pilot at Warm Spring station and a second survey was open to all BART riders across the SF Bay Area. I reached out to BART with several questions and have included their answers in their entirety below:ġ. BART recently conducted two EV-related surveys and has begun a pilot charging station program at one of its stations. In Northern California, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) commuters will likely increasingly be able to charge their EVs at a growing number of transit station parking lots. In my recent post, “ 8 Reasons Mass Transit Parking Lots Make Ideal EV Charging Centers,” I detailed why I believe transit stations can play an important role in the buildout of EV charging infrastructure. Mass transit station parking lots are ideal opportunities to help solve the growing need for more EV charging stations, especially for EV owners without access to home charging.
