Sustainability and Energy Action Plan

APPENDIX VI: CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE INSTALLATION PLAN MODEL GRANTS PASS SUSTAINABILITY AND ENERGY ACTION PLAN CHARGING LOCATIONS In order to achieve the goal of a 30% ZEV fleet by 2030, a significant portion of the municipal fleet will need to be 100% battery electric ( BEV). However, acquisition of electric vehicles is contingent on the installation of a municipal charging network. Several charging locations should be distributed among City facilities to support the transition to alternative fuels in municipal operations. There are 11 City -owned facilities where vehicles are parked. Each location should have two or more level 2 or 3 chargers. (Level 2 is a 220 amp circuit, and Level 3 is a DC fast charger). Appropriate locations include: City Hall Parks maintenance buildings A Street parking lot City Yard Water Restoration Plant New Water Treatment Plant Police Department Firestations The priorities for charging infrastructure installations should be based on potential adoption of BEV’s and projected use of the charger at each location. EV CHARGING STATION COSTS The cost of installing EVcharging stations will vary based on numerous issues, beginning withthe proximity of the proposed location to a service panel or point of connection to the grid. Future Energy, a professional design and installation firm, prepared the following analysis as a close approximation of potential costs. •Infrastructure includes wiring and circuit upgrades, panel upgrades, installation of meters, possible installation of a transformer, and the services of a licensed electrician. These costs can vary widely, depending on the specific circumstances of the installation. •Equipment includes the specific charging system selected. A 120 volt Level 1 charger will range from $600 to $1,000, a 240 volt Level 2 charger will be $2,500 to $5,500, and a Level 3 fast charger would be about $40,000. •Soft costs include any needed signage, bollards, striping, parking blocks, etc. These costs are likely to be $1500 or more. •Software, licensing, and grid connection fees may include on -going subscription and billing fees, but the initial costs are perhaps $2,000. The range of the total costs estimated by this approach suggests a total of approximately $20,000 for a dual plug Level 2 charger, to about $55,000 for a Level 3 DC Fast Charger. Assuming a target of 22 charging stations distributed among locations where City vehicles will be parked, the total cost of the project is likely to be $400,000. 147CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE INSTALLATION DETAILS The following appendix provides additional information on the installation of charging infrastructure based on City vehicles as of 2022 and City operations both current and anticipated.
