What a Colorado RSA inspection involves — and how EVICO performs it.
Colorado’s retail EV charging requirements call for field-based inspection and placed-in-service work performed by a qualified party using specialized metering equipment. Here’s what that process includes at a high level, and how EVICO approaches it in the field.
An RSA inspection verifies that a charger measures and sells energy accurately.
Under Colorado’s retail EV charging requirements, publicly accessible charging that bills by the kilowatt-hour must be evaluated and placed into service by a Registered Service Agency. The purpose is consumer protection and marketplace accuracy: confirming that the energy a driver pays for is the energy they actually receive, that the equipment is properly labeled and identified, and that pricing is displayed correctly. It is a field-based, technical process — not a paperwork exercise — and it relies on specialized, heavy-duty metering equipment to verify measurement accuracy to the required standard.
What EVICO evaluates in the field.
At a high level, a placed-in-service inspection confirms a charging station meets the accuracy, labeling, and display standards required for retail operation.
This is a high-level overview. The exact scope for any site depends on charger type, configuration, and how energy is billed.
A field-based process built around accurate measurement.
RSA inspection is a technical, hands-on process. EVICO performs it on-site using specialized, heavy-duty metering equipment capable of verifying a charger’s measurement accuracy to the standard the regulation requires.
Accurate measurement protects your operation and your customers.
A charger that measures or displays energy incorrectly creates exposure — for the driver who overpays, and for the operator who falls out of compliance. Equipment that does not meet the standard can ultimately be taken out of service. A proper inspection confirms your equipment is accurate, identified, and operating the way it should, with the documentation to prove it. EVICO performs this work so your sites are verified correctly the first time.
