BayCAP2 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Bay Area Charge Ahead Project 2 - Approval to Proceed | July 30, 2014 | page 12 <br />A. Fee-Based Charging: Site hosts shall set charging rates between $1.00 and $1.50 per hour for <br />use of the charger. This may or may not include separate charges for parking per the <br />jurisdiction’s usual parking policies. Fees may be calculated based on duration of stay, energy <br />consumed (kWh), or a combination of the two. <br />B. Graduated Pricing Based on Duration of Stay: Site hosts shall raise the fee for occupying the <br />EVSE-equipped space by a sufficient increment to encourage turnover of the space and thus <br />greater availability and utilization (in charging mode) for EV drivers. It is recommended that this <br />approach be implemented after approximately four hours of charging at the lower cost rate – <br />particularly in cases where utilization rates are observed to be very high (70% or more) and <br />available alternative charging facilities are limited. Site hosts may also consider a lower evening <br />or weekend rate for EVs (similar to most existing parking policies) to encourage responsible off- <br />peak use. (In particular, lots proximate to multi-unit residential buildings could provide a lower- <br />cost overnight rate with a higher daytime rate that incentivizes overnight EVSE users to make <br />way for daytime visitors and commuters.) <br />C. EVSE Revenue and Cost Monitoring: Pricing strategies should be reviewed on a semi-annual <br />basis to ensure that expenses for sustaining charger operations are covered to the maximum <br />extent feasible and appropriate. In most cases, fees for charger operations set in the $1/hr. <br />range (or equivalent kWh) should be adequate to cover energy costs, transaction fees, the <br />ChargePoint network services fee, and (beginning with Year 3 of the Project) the (optional) <br />continuation of the ABM Maintenance Plan. In rare cases where the charger is not yet being <br />well-utilized, there may be a modest operating subsidy required. <br /> <br /> <br />XII. Disposition of Equipment: Charging stations and related equipment installed by ABM at Host Sites <br />are considered to be the property of the Site Host upon delivery at the Site. Per CEC Terms and <br />Conditions, the Site Host shall use the equipment in the project for which it was acquired as long as <br />needed, and the Site Host shall not encumber the property without CEC approval. When no longer <br />needed for the original project or program, the Site Host shall contact the California Energy Commission <br />for disposition instructions. <br />
