EV Charging Area Exhaust and Equipment Clearance

EV charging areas can add equipment clearance, heat, electrical coordination, and garage ventilation constraints.

Stop if

• This duct is near EV charging gear. Do we verify electrical working clearance and ventilation requirements before hanging?

Watch out

• Do not hang duct or rod inside required electrical working clearance.

Check

• Confirm electrical clearances, vehicle clearance, ventilation sequence, fire/life-safety notes, and access.

Steps

• Identify whether this is normal ductwork or a controlled/special condition.
• Confirm electrical clearances, vehicle clearance, ventilation sequence, fire/life-safety notes, and access.
• Get the current drawing/detail/spec/submittal before changing routing, material, access, or support.
• Bring photos, location, and what you checked to the foreman before closing or covering the work.
