APPENDIX VI: CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE INSTALLATION PLAN MODEL GRANTS PASS SUSTAINABILITY AND ENERGY ACTION PLAN POTENTIAL CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING There are numerous grant opportunities available from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT ), Pacific Power and other entities for municipalities seeking to build an EV charging infrastructure network. With the adoption of this Plan, and the commitment to creating a ZEV fleet, the City will be well -positioned to take advantage of these opportunities. The new federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ( IIJA) will also provide funds to the state for charging infrastructure development. Below is a brief discussion of the types of support available for developing charging infrastructure. For a more complete listing of funding opportunities, see List of Available Funding Resources, Appendix III. The ODOT Climate Office, in partnership with ODOT , recently completed a Transportation Electrification Infrastructure Needs Analysis to identify the charging needs and gaps across Oregon and propose solutions to help accelerate widespread transportation electrification in Oregon. https://www.oregon.gov/odot/Programs/Pages/TEINA.aspx ODOT has stated a goal of tripling the number of EVs on the road by 2023, and expanding statewide public EV charging infrastructure by a minimum of 10% by 2025. They aim to achieve these targets through education, outreach and through funding, including using state and federal funding to bolster public EV charging infrastructure and leveraging partnerships with private industry. https://www.oregon.gov/odot/climate/pages/transportation%20electrification.aspx#:~:te xt=ODOT's%20role%20is%20to%20make,meets%20rural%20and%20urban%20needs . The nonprofit Forth provides an overview of ODOT's multi -million dollar Plugging in Oregon Community Charging Rebates program to encourage businesses, government and tribal entities to purchase, install and maintain Level 2 EV charging infrastructure at publicly accessible parking lots. Seventy percent of the funds are reserved for rural areas such as Grants Pass. https://forthmobility.org/Community%20Charging%20Rebate Pacific Power offers rebates for the installation of up to six EV charging stations by non - residential customers. https://www.pacificpower.net/savings -energy -choices/electric - vehicles/business -charger -rebates.html Corporate support for infrastructure will also assist with the transition to EVs. For example, General Motors is collaborating with charging station providers to install, operate and maintain charging stations in order to accelerate the widespread adoption of EVs and increase access to charging. https://www.gm.com/stories/leading -the-ev-infrastructure -charge Partnerships between the City, the County, ODOT , and possibly School District 7, could bring about efficiencies and cost savings through a master design and installation Plan for local public agency fleet electrification. 148
