File Number: 22-626 In collaboration with City staff, EBCE scoped the Project to deploy twelve dual -port 150 kilowatt (kW) DCFCs in 24 EV only charging stalls at the San Leandro Main Library parking lot. Each DCFC will be capable of powering two charging stalls. The capacity of the DCFC equipment may change in the final Project design (higher capacity, not lower). At least two, and possibly more, of the charging stalls will be accessible to accommodate vehicles used by those with disabilities, in conformance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Locating EBCE EV fast charging infrastructure at San Leandro ’s Main Library also makes strategic sense based on the following statistics: ●Extremely low overlap in EV adoption by renters in multifamily housing based on Department of Motor Vehicle registration data. ●There are 2,096 multi-family housing properties within a 5-mile radius of the project site. ●The project will expand access to an estimated 27,248 total multi-family housing units, more than an estimated 5,002 of which are affordable units and specifically serve low -income renters. ●>25% of the multi-family properties within a 5-mile radius of the San Leandro Main Library have a parking ratio of less than 1 space per unit. ●The San Leandro Main Library is in a low -income census tract. There are also ~50 other low-income census tracts within a 5-mile radius. ●The Project site is 1.2 miles from Interstate 580 and 1.4 miles from Interstate 880. ●The Project site is ~0.5 mile from a BART station. ●Walkable driver amenities include pharmacies, entertainment, banks, other retail and restaurants. ●A new specialty grocery store is planned nearby, along with nearly 200 units of new housing at 1188 East 14th Street. ●The Main Library parking lot hosts a farmers’ market, which will not impact accessibility of the fast chargers and will serve as a community outreach and engagement opportunity. ●The parking lot is accessible 24/7 and there is no fee to park in the lot. Additionally, EV’s can be a powerful tool for social equity. They reduce pollution associated with private automobile use and reduce lifetime driving expenses through lowered fueling and maintenance costs. Moreover, the “secondary market” of used EV’s is growing rapidly. This market will make EV purchases more accessible to drivers - but only if those residents are confident that they can reliably charge their vehicles. Public charging amenities are therefore needed, particularly in areas of San Leandro that presently have limited access to EV charging infrastructure. Current Agency Policies ·Climate Action Plan Policy: Transportation Electrification (TE-2): EV Charging Stations Permits and/or Variances Granted The Project is currently in the design engineering phase. EBCE will follow all of the City ’s Building & Safety permit requirements associated with the construction of the electric vehicle fast charging infrastructure.
