Line Marking EV Charging Bays: What to Expect
As electric vehicles (EVs) become more popular, the demand for clearly marked EV charging bays is on the rise. Whether you manage a commercial car park or a residential complex, having well-marked EV charging bays is essential. This blog will help you understand the detailed process of EV bay marking and how it benefits your facility.
The Process
Step 1: Measuring the Bay
The first step in line marking an electric vehicle charging bay is accurate measurement. Our standard dimensions for an EV parking space are 2.4 meters by 4.7 meters. Precise measurements ensure that each bay is functional and spacious, accommodating a variety of EV models.
Step 2: String Lining the Area
Once we have the dimensions, we use string lines to outline the bay. This step ensures that the lines are straight and even, serving as guides for the subsequent painting process.
Step 3: Applying the Background Paint
Next, we apply your chosen colour of line marking paint for the background. This is usually green for EV Parking Bays, however, we are also able to mix specific RAL colours if you wish to create a custom line marking look to match your company’s branding. We use a four-inch roller to cut in the edges, ensuring sharp borders. This meticulous process is crucial for a professional appearance and creates a defined area for the EV bay.
Step 4: Painting the Inner Bay
After the edges are completed, we paint the inner bay using a larger 12-inch roller. By pouring the paint directly onto the ground, we can cover the area quickly and efficiently. This method ensures a smooth and even coat, providing a durable and long-lasting surface.
Step 5: Marking the Center for the EV Logo
With the green (or custom colour) background in place, we mark the centre of the bay where the EV logo will be positioned. Measuring from all four edges ensures the logo is perfectly centered, enhancing the professional look of the bay.
Step 6: Spraying the EV Logo
We then use our advanced line marking spray machine to apply the EV logo. The machine ensures consistent and accurate application, resulting in a clean and sharp logo that is easily recognisable.
????If you are looking to align the look of your new EV bays with your brand identity we can create custom line marking stencils to achieve this.
Step 7: Painting the Edge Lines
The final step is painting the edge lines of the parking bay. Using our line marking machine, we spray the lines at a standard width of four inches. These lines frame the bay, providing clear boundaries and a neat finish.
