ACCELERATING THE ADOPTION AND USE OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Audit Analysis
A US-based EV charging adoption project validated by SCS Global Services under VCS methodology VM0038, with additionality confirmed via a combined test and safeguards (FPIC, grievance mechanism) in place. However, the validation surfaced 13 non-conformities and observations, the leakage justification is thin (0% deduction, 'deemed negligible'), no buffer pool is documented, and the low extraction confidence across nine source documents limits assurance on data completeness.
Red Flags
- Thirteen non-conformities and observations (7 NCRs, 6 NIRs) were raised during validation, including missing stakeholder consultation documentation, incomplete public comment responses, and unclear GHG emission reduction assumptions
- Leakage deduction is 0% with only a 'deemed negligible' justification; the PDD (2023) did not address leakage at all, and the validation report (2025) merely deemed it negligible without a quantified analysis
- Minimum extraction confidence across the nine source documents is rated low, reducing reliability of the structured data used for this assessment
