Sustainability and Energy Action Plan

TRANSPORTATION GRANTS PASS SUSTAINABILITY AND ENERGY ACTION PLAN T-2-2. Install Fast Charging Stations for Emergency Response Vehicles The Police Department building is likely to see a significant increase in electrification of its rolling stock in the second stage of ZEV rollout , since this location houses police pursuit vehicles. Prior to the transition of these vehicles to a zero -emission alternative, additional charging infrastructure will need to be put in place .This will include direct current fast chargers, which can provide a fullcharge in 20 to 30 minutes , depending on the configuration of the specific vehicle. While Level Two chargers are less expensive to install, the charging rate of 10- 20 miles of range per hour makes them suitable only for vehicles that can be charged overnight or for extended periods during the day.63 T-2-3. Install Fueling Infrastructure for Heavy -Duty and Specialized Vehicles Additional charging station installations may be needed as battery technology improves to be able to meet the needs of heavier duty vehicles, or an alternative fuel, such asrenewable hydrogen (the sourcing of which is discussed in BE -6-6), may be a more feasible source of clean energy for some or all of these vehicles. As manufacturers develop heavy equipment that utilizes either electricity or other alternatives, sufficient charging and/or alternative fueling infrastructure will need to be installed.apparatus, meaning additional chargers using the newest technology will need to be installed at this stage, it is likely that something additional, like renewable hydrogen fueling infrastructure , will be required. Renewable hydrogen is a liquid fuel alternative thatshows promise, partic - ularly when EVs may not be practical, such as forbuses and long-haul trucking. T-2-4. Install Fueling Infrastructure for Zero Emission Fire Apparatus The final stage of ZEV adoption – transitioning fire apparatus – is most likely to require the use of new, technology beyond battery electric. While it is possible that battery technology will develop enough to cover the transition of at least some fire 61
