Bay and charger layout
CARPORT GUIDE
Membrane shelters
Charging-pile, charging-station and electric-car station canopies share one planning intent: coordinate the shelter with charging equipment.

USE & FUNCTION
The canopy still needs to work as a car shelter and drain rainwater. Charging equipment also occupies side, rear or column-adjacent space. Plot charger positions, protection zones, cable routes, signs and service access on one coordinated plan.

Responsibility for canopy, foundations and electrical works
Single rows may suit one-sided forms; double rows may suit central or double-sided forms. The silhouette does not determine charging power or replace electrical, fire and operating plans.
Check whether columns compete with chargers, whether runoff reaches equipment or plug-in areas, and how impact protection, lighting and maintenance parking will work.
This page addresses the canopy and equipment interfaces. See the site’s energy-service pages for station delivery, electrical connection and charger installation scope.
QUESTION & ANSWER
Confirm the work package for each project. Canopy, foundations, equipment, electrical design, connection and operation may be delivered by different parties. State responsibilities in the enquiry.
