File Number: 23-233 critical disparities that will hinder widespread EV adoption and, therefore, the ability to achieve California’s zero-emission vehicle goals. Using data derived from the Department of Motor Vehicles, the County Assessor’s office, and online real estate websites, EBCE’s analysis 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. In the absence of additional action, these upgrades will not occur quickly enough, nor 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. To that end, EBCE is partnering with the City to install, maintain, and operate EV fast charging stations on municipal properties that are available to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Siting EBCE’s EV fast chargers at municipal facilities 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 EV fast chargers that would be installed through this agreement 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 located in municipal facility surface parking lots and /or garages. This equipment may include new PG&E transformers, electrical switchgear, and panels . EBCE will coordinate the installation of required transformers with PG&E and EBCE will have their own meters that serve the EV fast chargers. EBCE will also 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. Analysis In collaboration with City staff, EBCE will scope one or more projects with the goal of deploying a Page 3 City of San Leandro Printed on 5/31/2023
