Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Recommendations to Fairfax County

Abstract

Plug-in vehicles feature prominently in the vision for a livable, sustainable Tysons Corner. They promise cleaner, quieter transportation that is less dependent on the political stability of other parts of the world, but they come at the price of being a fundamentally different way of powering the automobile fleet. Charging will largely be done over long periods of time at distributed locations, rather than at particular fueling stations. As Tysons Corner evolves from a suburban office park to an urban center, the evolution to an electric automotive fleet will affect urban layout, building design, and utility services.
