File Number: 22-626 identified the following information: ·47% of all residents in Alameda County are renters ·90% of all multi-family housing properties (5+ units) are over 50 years old ·To date there has been a de minimis level of electric vehicle adoption among multi-family housing residents Due to the vintage of multi-family housing properties, electrical capacity upgrades will be needed across the County’s building portfolio to support electric vehicle charging. These upgrades are the property owner ’s responsibility to fund and coordinate (i.e. not the tenants’ responsibility), representing a key barrier to deploying lower -level charging to enable at -home charging for these residents. These upgrades will not occur quickly at the scale needed to meet the state’s goals. A not-for-profit public agency like EBCE has a critical role to play in addressing the installation of EV charging infrastructure to meet the needs of residents. EBCE can deliver clean electricity as a transportation fuel at a lower cost to customers and is well positioned to invest in a network of public EV fast chargers that is informed by local data and input from its JPA members like the City. To that end, EBCE is partnering with the City to install, maintain, and operate EV fast charging stations on municipal property that are available to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week . Siting EBCE’s EV fast chargers at municipal facilities, like the parking lot at the Main Library, will result in infrastructure that is convenient, accessible, reliable, highly utilized, and equitable for all users, including renters in San Leandro ’s multi-family housing developments. This public -public partnership approach will ensure a wide spectrum of San Leandro ’s residents can join and benefit from the transition to EVs and will support the City ’s efforts to achieve its climate action goals. The 2017 greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory showed that transportation emissions account for 60% of San Leandro’s community emissions, so EV infrastructure deployment will help to reduce these emissions. The 24 EV-fast chargers that would be installed through this proposed project will provide much more capacity than standard Level 2 chargers, enabling drivers to refuel in under an hour . Electrical equipment for the EV fast chargers will be co -located in the Main Library ’s surface parking lot. This equipment includes a new PG&E transformer and electrical switchgear and panels. EBCE will coordinate the installation of the transformer with PG&E and EBCE will have their own meter that serves the EV fast chargers and will be billed directly for all electricity costs, with end users paying for the electricity used at the charging stations via credit card or an electronic mobile application. All EV fast chargers will be powered by EBCE ’s Renewable 100 electricity product. In exchange for this service, the City is allowing EBCE to occupy City property at no cost. Once operational, the project will become a resource for residents and visitors alike and a major step in achieving San Leandro’s Climate Action Plan goals.
