EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The transportation sector accounts for a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.
This includes emissions from cars, trucks, buses, trains, and planes that burn fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel. California aims to address the emissions of this sector by implementing a variety of regulations, such as the California Air Resources Board's (CARB) Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulation which sets requirements for all transit agencies to transition to zero emission buses (ZEB) by 2040.
California's regulatory framework for electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure includes mandates under the California Green Building Code (CALGreen), AB 1236, AB 970, and other statewide policies to accelerate EV adoption and meet greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. CALGreen establishes minimum EV infrastructure requirements for new buildings and renovations, emphasizing sustainable construction practices. Accessibility for EV charging stations is mandated under Section 11B of the California Building Code (CBC), ensuring inclusivity for all users. Policies like AB 1236 and AB 970 streamline permitting processes for EV charging stations (EVCS), requiring local agencies to implement expedited approvals and standardized procedures for EVCS permitting. Regulations such as the aforementioned ICT and Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) programs, set ZEV adoption targets for public and private fleets, with phased milestones through 2040. Utilities like PG&E support infrastructure deployment through Time-of-Use (TOU) rate structures and financial incentives, ensuring the grid can meet increasing EV demand. These coordinated policies and initiatives enable cities like Corcoran to develop comprehensive EV plans, address community needs, and contribute to statewide sustainability goals.
The State of California's efforts to combat climate change are driven by ambitious GHG reduction targets established under AB 32 and CARB's 2022 scoping plan. The State aims for net zero emissions by 2045, with goals to reduce GHG emissions by 85% below 1990 levels, cut air pollution by 71%, and phase out liquid petroleum and fossil fuels. In the San Joaquin Valley, geographic and climatic factors exacerbate air pollution, resulting in persistent non-attainment for particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone standards. The region has implemented strategies, including CARB and San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) plans, to address these pollutants, but mobile sources remain the largest contributors to nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Kings County addresses air quality challenges through its Regional Transportation Plan, emphasizing public transit and alternative fuels. The City of Corcoran aligns with these efforts by integrating air quality goals into its General Plan. The City of Corcoran Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Network Plan (EVCINP) outlines a strategy for developing the City's network of EV charging infrastructure in a manner that will support California's GHG emission reduction targets and prepare the City for the ongoing growth of the EV market in the area.
As of 2023, the 93212 ZIP code, which includes the City of Corcoran, has 9,793 registered light-duty vehicles, with 51 being ZEVs-a 0.5% adoption rate, which is lower than neighboring areas like Hanford (1.5%) and Lemoore (1.4%). Corcoran currently has two public Level 2 chargers located at Gateway Park, and four additional Level 2 chargers exclusively serving the Corcoran Police Department fleet. Much of Corcoran qualifies as a disadvantaged community (DAC) under SB 535, making it eligible for state funds dedicated to projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and benefit underserved areas. Public outreach revealed strong interest in EVs and charging infrastructure, with community members emphasizing the need for chargers near residential areas, shopping centers, and public transit hubs like the Corcoran Depot. Concerns about the cost of EVs and charging infrastructure, as well as range anxiety, highlight the need for accessible incentives and educational events to support the community's transition CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 9 | Page to electric mobility. These insights will guide the City's EV infrastructure development, ensuring alignment with local needs and state goals.
The Corcoran Area Transit (CAT) has served as a vital Dial-A-Ride service for residents since 1975, expanding to meet public needs and operating alongside Amtrak at the Corcoran Depot. To comply with the ICT Regulation, CAT is transitioning to a 100% ZEB fleet by 2044 to avoid early vehicle retirements. The City's path towards compliance is highlighted by its recently published Zero Emission Vehicle Rollout Plan.? Ridership and miles traveled statistics for the CAT were analyzed which showed that there has been a decrease in ridership over the past few years. Transitioning to ZEBs presents infrastructure challenges, such as selecting buses with adequate battery ranges and building charging stations. Corcoran's climate is an additional factor that must be considered for fleet management, necessitating careful planning for battery performance and operational efficiency.
Selecting sites for charging stations is a complex process. Industry best practices recommend selecting sites with existing electrical utilities, existing infrastructure like lighting and parking, proximity to densely populated areas, and ensuring that the chargers are located in an area that can support connectivity features like cellular and internet network connections. Selecting the right ownership model for chargers is also critical as this dictates who has authority over the operation and maintenance of the EVCSs. This Plan compares different structures and clarifies the advantages and disadvantages of owning the equipment and partnering with a third-party charging company.
The City of Corcoran has identified key locations for installing EV charging stations to meet current and future demands, with considerations for grid capacity and community needs. By 2030, projections indicate the City will require 23 Level 2 chargers, 4 DC fast chargers (DCFC), and over 800 residential chargers to support a growing ZEV population. The analysis utilized tools like the EVI-Pro Lite Daily Charging Need Tool and PG&E's Integration Capacity Analysis (ICA) map, revealing the City's electrical grid can support approximately 56 Level 2 or 34 DCFC per 1MW capacity, with site-specific upgrades potentially required.
Priority locations include the Public Works Lot, the Corcoran Depot, a downtown parking lot, the Recreation Association of Corcoran (R.A.C.), and the Police Department. Each site was assessed for its suitability, infrastructure needs, and community benefits, with recommendations for Level 2 and DCFC installations based on anticipated usage and dwell times.
For multifamily dwellings (MFDs), challenges such as parking access, electrical upgrades, and regulatory issues can complicate EV infrastructure development. Solutions include shared charging units, dedicated spaces, third-party services, and leveraging financial incentives. The City can facilitate these efforts by providing technical assistance, connecting property owners with service providers, and offering workshops. By addressing public and private charging needs, Corcoran is positioning itself to support widespread EV adoption and achieve sustainability goals.
The EVCINP includes a variety of different funding opportunities geared towards assisting with implementing EVCS infrastructure for cities. These programs are offered at the federal, state and regional levels. Electrical utility companies also provide funding programs that can further alleviate EVCS projects. 1 Kings County Association of Governments, ZEV Strategy and Final Report: Corcoran Area Transit ZEV Rollout and Implementation Plan, 2024: https://www.kingsc0g.org/vertical/sites/%7BC427AE30-9936-4733-B9D4- 140709AD3BBF%7D/uploads/CAT_ZEV_Rollout_Plan_Final(1).pdf CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 10 | Page CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
In September 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Executive Order N-79-20 which put into motion a statewide commitment towards the transition to zero emission vehicles (ZEVs). The Executive Order set the goal of achieving 100% of all new passenger vehicle sales to be ZEVs by 2035, which supplements Executive Order B-48-18 that set the goal of having 5 million ZEVs on the road by 2030.2 The sales of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles is also expected to be 100% ZEVs, though this is set to be fulfilled by 2045.3 In order to meet these goals, CARB updated its scoping plan in 2022, creating numerous programs and regulations such as the ICT regulation in 2018, which set requirements for all public transit networks to switch to ZEBs by 2040. Additionally, CARB introduced the Advanced Clean Cars II Program which laid out the state's legally binding path towards 100% ZEVs.* California's transportation sector is a significant contributor to the state's GHG emissions, accounting for a substantial 38.2% of all GHG emissions. Among the pollutants generated by this sector, nitrogen oxides (NOx) stand out as particularly harmful, with cars being the primary sources. These pollutants not only contribute to climate change but also have severe health impacts, particularly in disadvantaged communities that are often located near high-traffic areas.
In response to these challenges, the transition to EVs represents an important strategy for reducing the environmental and health impacts of transportation. EVs generally have a smaller carbon footprint compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, even when considering the emissions from electricity sources and the energy-intensive processes involved in battery manufacturing. ® With the growing EV market and wave of EV adoption, it is paramount for the state to have the required infrastructure in place and ready to satisfy charging demands. Cities can lead the way by introducing EV charging at publicly owned settings like public parking lots, transit depots, train stations, parks, and government buildings to encourage residents to adopt EVs and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Similarly, private property owners can also play a role in this transition by incorporating EV charging infrastructure in their properties for their tenants. Thus, it is crucially important for local agencies to have a plan in place to guide and inform the development of charging infrastructure for both public and private electric vehicles.
Purpose
The City of Corcoran's EVCINP aims to provide a comprehensive plan and establish a roadmap that will prepare the City to satisfy the growth of EV charging needs in the region and address GHG emission reduction goals set by the state. The Plan focuses on accomplishing the following:

Types of EVs
An EV, as defined by the U.S. Department of Energy, is a vehicle that can be powered by an electric motor which draws electricity from a battery and is capable of being charged from an external source. There are two main types of Plug-In Electric Vehicles (PEVs), including Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs).
Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles
PHEVs utilize a combination of both electric motors and an internal combustion engine to power the car.
This helps boost the vehicle's fuel efficiency and typically extends its range on the road. The unique feature of PHEVs is that some of these cars are also capable of running solely on electric power from the electric motor, though range is much lower due to the smaller batteries.

Electric Vehicle Charging Station Infrastructure
Much like there are different types of EVs, there are also different levels of charging that satisfy a variety of demand and supply needs. There are multiple factors that affect charging speeds and installation costs including the state of the EV's battery, use of power while charging, temperature, time of day when charging, level of charging, and installation of electrical equipment. These factors play a crucial role in determining the suitability and efficiency of different charging station levels. Understanding these differences is essential for selecting the appropriate charging infrastructure that aligns with the diverse requirements of EV users. 1°
Level 1
Level 1 charging is the most basic form of charging. This level uses the standard residential three-pronged, 120V outlet and is typically used for home and overnight charging as this level offers the slowest charging ° U.S. Department of Energy, How Do All-Electric Cars Work?: https://afdc.energy.gov/vehicles/how-do-all-electric- cars-work

Level 2 charging offers much faster charging speeds and may be what most have come to think of when discussing EV charging. These chargers utilize 208V-240V electrical service and can be placed in residential sites, workplaces, and public charging locations such as shopping centers. Charging times can vary from 4 hours to 10 hours, depending on how much energy the battery needs and the output of the charger. The cost to implement this level of charging infrastructure can range between $5,000 to $25,000.° Level 3
Level 3, also known as direct current fast charging (DCFC), is the fastest form of charging available in today's market. This level requires commercial electrical service ranging between 208V to 480V and is commonly used for public and commercial charging sites. DCFC may cause the most strain on the electrical grid and is the most expensive option of the three, with implementation costs ranging between $25,000 to $45,000 or more depending on its electrical output. However, it also provides the fastest charging speeds with most vehicles able to reach 80% battery within 30 minutes.? EV Charger Connectors
As for the types of connectors, there are four main types used in the United States which include:
• J1772
Primary connector type for Level 1 and Level 2 charging. • J1772 combo
• Similar to J1772 with additional ports to enable DCFC. • CHAdeMO
• Found on some vehicle models to enable DCFC.
• Tesla
Tesla models utilize a unique charging connector specific for Tesla vehicles, though this can be mitigated with charger adapters allowing vehicles to charge with different connector types.

Common Challenges
Though the EV market has continued to grow in California, it is still in its relatively early stages and has presented some unique challenges for EV owners to overcome. During the outreach efforts for this Plan, issues relating to financial barriers, lack of charging stations, and range anxiety were among the main concerns shared by the public.
Significant progress has been made in the industry which has allowed prices of EVs to drop. Bloomberg New Energy Finance conducted a survey where it notes that battery prices have been steadily dropping over the past few years. This is highly significant as batteries are one of the key factors that drive up the prices of these vehicles. Bloomberg expects that the continued research and development may see the emergence of newer technologies and manufacturing methods, which in turn can help further reduce costs. There are a variety of incentive programs offered at the Federal, State, and regional levels that aid prospective buyers and alleviate some of the financial burden. Local agencies and energy utility companies have also developed similar programs offering further support and making EVs more accessible. Additionally, the ever-evolving used EV market will provide more options for low-cost EVs.
Range anxiety is also one of the main deterrents preventing consumers from considering EVs. However, there is a wider selection of EVs giving buyers options to consider and ensure they make a purchase that aligns with their unique needs. Range for many all-electric vehicles can comfortably reach between 250- 300 miles on a full charge, as shown on Figure 4. This number only grows when you consider PHEVs, as 11 Bloomberg New Energy Finance, Lithium-Ion Battery Pack Prices Hit Record Low of $139/kWh, (2023):

The California Energy Commission (CEC) estimates the need for approximately 1.2 million public and shared private chargers to charge a projected 7.5 million EVs by 2030.4 A recent update published by the Governor's office states that over 105,000 public or shared private chargers have been installed, with an additional installation of 500,000 home chargers. '5 The CEC's recent approval of $1.9 billion dedicated to enhancing the charging network is a significant step toward overcoming infrastructure barriers. The funding is provided by the $48 billion California Climate Commitment, as well as funds from the Biden-Harris Administration for clean transportation. Funds will be made available over the next four years to businesses, non-profit organizations, tribes, and public agencies through competitive grants and be distributed to direct incentive and rebate programs. 16 This investment will facilitate the installation of more chargers, improving access and helping reduce range anxiety by ensuring EV owners have convenient access to charging stations statewide. 14 California Energy Commission, Report Shows California Needs 1.2 Million Electric Vehicle Chargers by 2030, 2021:

CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 17 | Page CHAPTER 2: EVALUATION OF STATE EV REGULATIONS & POLICIES Building Codes
EV Requirements
The California Green Building Code is a mandatory set of requirements established by the State to promote sustainable construction practices. It was first enacted in 2008 and incorporated into Title 24, Part 11 of the California Code of Regulations. CALGreen aims to enhance energy efficiency, reduce water consumption, minimize waste, improve indoor air quality, and encourage the use of sustainable building materials. The 2022 update features minimum EV infrastructure requirements, which have been significantly increased from previous iterations. In addition to these requirements, CALGreen also provides a variety of voluntary measures, classified as Tier 1 and Tier 2 measures, that build off of the mandatory measures. These voluntary requirements are included in Appendix A.
These requirements are mandated for all new buildings and any additions or alteration projects that increase the electrical load or capacity of the site. Incorporating EV charging infrastructure within local building codes can help standardize the technology used and guide the implementation of these chargers.
Some of the 2022 CALGreen mandatory measures relating to EVCS are provided in the following page." 1 California Green Building Code Standards, 2022. Title 24, Part 11, Chapter 4. Residential Mandatory Measures:

Accessibility Requirements
As with all public goods and services, accessibility is required for EV charging stations. However, the current 2010 American with Disabilities Standards for Accessible Design does not have any requirements relating to EV chargers. On January 1, 2017, California became the first state to create and adopt accessibility standards for EV charging stations as part of its building code in an effort to assure that the intent of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) is upheld. In July 2022, The U.S. Access Board also published design recommendations for charging stations, but is yet to be adopted by the Department of Justice and remains unenforceable in California.
Section 11B-228.3.2.1 of the 2022 California Building Code sets minimum requirements for the number of required accessible charging spaces, as shown on Table 1. It is important to keep in mind that "charging" and "parking" are considered two separate subjects. The purpose of a charging space is for the provision of electrical energy to recharge an EV. In contrast, parking provides a space where a vehicle can be left unattended for a period of time. The key distinction between the two is the need for EV charging infrastructure for a charging space and is why they are addressed in different sections of the building code.
Section 11B-812.1 also provides minimum requirements for the layout of the accessible parking spaces, as shown on Figures 6 and 722.

AB 1100
On October 12, 2019, Governor Newsom signed AB 1100 (Kamlager-Dove, 2019), codified in Vehicle Code Section 22511.2, requiring Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) to count EV charging spaces towards parking requirements. A standard charging space must account for at least one (1) parking space.
Accessible charging spaces must account for at least two (2) parking spaces.
AB 970
AB 970 (McCarty, 2021), codified in Government Code Section 65850.71, makes clarifications regarding parking requirements and their relation to charging facilities. AB 970 states that cities and counties must reduce the number of required parking spaces as necessary to accommodate for the EVCS in the case that the charging equipment impacts the required parking for existing uses. However, this law is mainly focused on the permitting process of EVCS which is discussed in the next section.
Innovative Clean Transit (ICT)
The ICT regulation, adopted in December 2018, mandates that all public transit agencies in California transition to a 100 percent ZEB fleet by 2040, with all new bus purchases being zero-emission starting in 2029. The City's path to compliance with ICT is discussed in Chapter 5.
Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF)
CARB adopted the Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation in April 2023 to accelerate the transition of state and local government agency fleets in California to near-zero emission vehicles (NZEV) and ZEVs.
The regulation aims to reduce GHG emissions and improve air quality by promoting the adoption of clean and low-emission vehicles in government fleets. ACF applies statewide, meaning it would also apply to fleet operators within the City of Corcoran. This includes municipal fleets, Federal, and State agencies operating in the City. Private fleets may also be affected depending on fleet size and operations.
Under the Model Year Schedule Option, affected fleets must ensure that 50 percent of their annual vehicle purchases per calendar year are zero-emissions by January 1, 2024. By January 1, 2027, this requirement increases to 100 percent, meaning all vehicle purchases must be ZEVs. Individual departments, divisions, districts, subsidiaries, or agencies under the City's jurisdiction have the option to comply jointly instead of independently.
Alternatively, agencies have the option of opting in to the ZEV Milestones Option. This option allows fleet operators to meet the regulation's requirements through a series of milestones that specify the percentage of ZEVs they must have in their fleets by set dates. This approach provides fleet operators with flexibility and a clearer timeline for transitioning to zero-emission technologies. For a city like Corcoran, adopting the ZEV Milestones Option can be a strategic choice, allowing local fleet operators to plan their transition effectively and incrementally. It offers a structured pathway to compliance with the ACF regulation while considering local conditions such as fleet size, availability of charging infrastructure, and financial resources. Until January 1, 2030, fleets have the choice to switch between both options as long as the fleet complies with both requirements set by their current option and the desired option.
In the case that a fleet owner cannot comply with the regulation due to reasons out of his/her control, there are exemptions and extensions available to help mitigate their circumstances. Reasons for filing for CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 22 | Page an exemption or extension vary from the availability of a ZEV that will effectively replace the old vehicle, to infrastructure and delivery delays. It is important for fleet owners to be aware of all options available to ensure their fleets do not fall out of compliance. Fleets that already purchased ZEVs before 2024 or in excess of the required amounts can count these vehicles towards future ZEV purchase requirements, as long as the ZEVs are still active in the fleet.
It will be important for the City to carefully analyze their fleets and ensure that the options chosen are feasible and allow for a steady implementation of ZEVs. CARB provides many resources on their website to help agencies plan for compliance.?
Permitting
AB 1236
In 2015, AB 1236 (Chiu, 2015), codified in Government Code 65850.7, was signed into law and mandates that all cities and counties establish an expedited, streamlined permitting process for installing various types of EVCS, including Level 1, Level 2, DC Fast, and wireless chargers. This applies to both public and private stations and encompasses light-, medium-, and heavy-duty EV chargers. The law acknowledges that readily available charging infrastructure accelerates the adoption of zero-emission vehicles, leading to improved air quality, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and local economic benefits. Prior to AB 1236, the permitting process for EV charging stations was inconsistent and often slow. AB 1236 requires cities to adopt ordinances facilitating this process and prohibits local ordinances from creating unreasonable barriers to station installation. The law also limits permit review to health and safety concerns, allowing building officials to require project revisions only when specific adverse impacts are identified.
AB 970
The aforementioned AB 970 was created to provide clarification and build off of AB 1236. AB 970 establishes binding timelines for AHJs to review and approve EVCS project applications based on project size. For projects with 1 to 25 charging stations, applications must be reviewed for completeness within 5 business days and approved or denied within 20 business days. For projects with 26 or more charging stations, the review period is 10 business days and the approval or denial period is 40 business days. Table 3 summarizes these timelines. If the AHJ does not respond within these timeframes, the application is deemed complete or approved. AB 970 also requires AHJs to issue a one-time written deficiency notice detailing any necessary changes if the application is incomplete. In the absence of a checklist, the deficiency notice focuses on health and safety compliance. This process is illustrated in Figure 8. To optimize this process, applicants are recommended to submit well-organized applications and communicate effectively with AHJs. Additionally, it is recommended that cities and counties publish their expedited timelines and consider conditional permit approvals to save time and costs, which can be reinvested in additional charging infrastructure. Third-party reviewers contracted by cities or counties must also adhere to AB 1236 and AB 970 requirements to avoid delays. 25 California Air Resources Board, Advanced Clean Fleets Fact Sheets, 2024: https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our- work/programs/advanced-clean-fleets/advanced-clean-fleets-fact-sheets CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 23 | Page Table 3: AB 970 EVCS Permit Timelines

AB 1236 mandated that local government agencies establish streamlined permitting processes for electric vehicle charging stations by September 30, 2017, including passing an ordinance to formalize this approach. Despite this requirement, inconsistent application and a lack of enforcement have resulted in varied permitting processes across the State. AB 970, effective January 1, 2023, for smaller cities with a population less than 200,000, reinforces the need for streamlined permitting. The success of these laws hinges on local implementation, with AHJs having flexibility in their methods. Ideally, a uniform permitting process would be modeled after the fastest procedures in the state, but in practice, approaches vary.
Compliance with these laws should simplify the process for both AHJs and developers, avoiding additional complications and delays. The digital submission and acceptance of permit applications and electronic signatures is encouraged to further simplify this process. It is recommended that these documents be made available on the City's website. Additionally, AHJs should provide a complete set of comments early to streamline responses. Engaging industry stakeholders to discuss and improve processes can further enhance efficiency and save time for all parties involved CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 24 | Page Figure 8: AB 1236 and AB 970 Requirements and Process Overview26 Ordinance

Utility
With an increase in EV ownership, electric utilities play a vital role in supporting the construction of EV infrastructure and providing a reliable grid to residents. Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) has many resources and programs available for its customers that focus on the development of EV charging infrastructure.
The incentive programs offered are discussed in Chapter 7.
Along with incentive programs, PG&E has created EV rate structures. EV rates are based on Time-of-Use (TOU), meaning electricity prices vary depending on the time of day. TOU rates encourage customers to avoid using electricity during peak hours in the early evening when costs are highest, without limiting the amount of electricity that can be used at any time. The ideal times to charge range between 12 a.m. - 3 p.m. when energy consumption rates are typically lowest.? 26 California Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development. Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permitting Guidebook: Second Edition, 2023, P. 33-47: https://business.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/GoBIZ- EVCharging-Guidebook.pdf

Residents are able to decide between combining their home and vehicle energy use or having a second meter installed dedicated to EV charging. Customers can change their rate schedule twice in the first 12 months, but after the second change, they must stay on the new rate for a year.
PG&E also offers two rates for businesses, though they are structured slightly differently. Business EV rates include a flexible monthly subscription charge based on the maximum monthly EV charging kW consumption, which can be adjusted throughout the billing cycle to avoid overage fees. If consumption exceeds the subscription level, an overage fee of twice the kW cost is applied. A three-cycle grace period with no overage fees is provided upon initial enrollment or adding more EV installations, with automatic subscription adjustments if overages occur. Additionally, customers are billed a TOU rate (kWh) based on energy usage and timing, with the lowest rates available at midday when renewable energy generation is highest.
CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 26 | Page CHAPTER 3: GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION REDUCTION TARGETS
State Goals
In 2006, the California Legislature adopted AB 32, also known as the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, which gave CARB the responsibility of developing regulations on how the State will address global warming. On December of 2022, CARB released its updated scoping plan which presented multiple ambitious goals toward achieving carbon neutrality. The State's plan seeks to drastically reduce pollution and accelerate the transition to clean energy by 2045, decreasing GHG emissions to 85% below 1990 levels, cutting air pollution by 71%, and reducing the usage of liquid petroleum and fossil fuels by 94% and 86%, respectively. The scoping plan expresses the grand importance of electrification in all sectors and the need of cleaner energy. The plan is a critical component of Governor Newsom's California Climate Commitment and sets the bar for attaining net zero emissions. 28, 29 In 2022, the CEC estimated that 48% of the State's electricity was being generated by non-renewable and unspecified sources, while 52% was produced by renewable and zero-carbon resources. Figure 9 shows the breakdown of energy sources in California. Additionally, the United States Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center provides insight on annual emissions per vehicle at the state level. Based on 2022 data, it was found that ZEVs, not including fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEV), accounted for a combined total of 5,251 pounds of carbon dioxide (COze) equivalent which was less than half of the emissions produced by gasoline powered engines, as shown on Figure 10.
While the State sets its sights on achieving net zero emissions and implementing widespread electrification, it is essential to understand the unique challenges present in the San Joaquin Valley region, particularly regarding emission reductions and the transition to cleaner transportation alternatives.

San Joaquin Valley Current Conditions & Goals
The San Joaquin Valley has consistently had high levels of pollution and poor air quality. The Valley's geography and climate creates a prime location to produce and retain much of the detrimental air pollutants it produces. As a result, the region has failed to meet a majority of health-based standards set by CARB and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), resulting in its non-attainment designation.
Particulate Matter Pollution (PM2.5)
One key metric being monitored is particulate matter. PM2.5 is particle matter less than 2.5 micrometers (um) in diameter and is composed of a mixture of particles including organic chemicals, dust, soot, and metals. PM2.5 typically originates from cars, trucks, wood burning and other similar activities. Though not technically a GHG, this pollutant can trap infrared radiation from the sun, which leads to the GHG effect.
This particulate matter is especially concerning because these particles can travel deep into the lungs, increasing the risk of health complications including heart and lung disease.32 The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) released a plan in 2018 addressing the PM2.5 Standards for 1997, 2006, and 2012. The plan revealed that the Valley has made progress towards reducing PM2.5 concentrations, having already attained the 24-hour portion of the 1997 standard of 65ug/m? and is close to fully meeting the annual standard of 15ug/m?. However, there is still much work to be done to attain the 2006 24-hour standard of 35ug/m' and 2012 annual standard of 12ug/m?. The Valley continues to be classified as a nonattainment zone.

Ozone Pollution
Ground level ozone is another pollutant impacting the public's health. Ozone is the main ingredient of smog, deriving from a variety of sources including cars, trucks, planes, trains, factories, construction, and dry cleaners. Much like PM2.5, ozone also has negative health impacts and compromises the wellbeing of residents. 36 SJVAPCD published its 2022 plan for attaining the federal 2015 national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) 8-hour ozone standard of 70 parts-per-billion (ppb). Since 1980, the region has been able to greatly reduce NOx emissions, a main ingredient of smog, from stationary and mobile sources by 93% and 75%, respectively. The Valley has faced challenges in meeting these standards due to various sources of pollution, including emissions from vehicles and industrial activities. While progress has been made in reducing emissions through regulatory measures and incentive programs, achieving full compliance with the ozone standards has been a complex and ongoing effort. To that extent, the Valley aims to bring the region into attainment of the 2015 8-hour ozone standard by the year 2037. Mobile sources still contribute the most of NOx emissions as shown in Figure 11. As the ZEV population grows, NOx emissions from vehicles will decrease and further aid the San Joaquin Valley achieve its emission goals.

Kings County Efforts towards Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions Kings County plays a significant role in air quality via control of land use and development in lands within its jurisdiction. The County is committed to improving air quality not only to address state and regional goals, but, more importantly, to provide a cleaner environment for its residents. In compliance with AB 170, the County includes an air quality element in its general plan which sets goals necessary to improve environmental conditions, among other subjects. As one of its air quality improvement policies, the County's General Plan presents AQ Policy D1.1.3 which states:
"County fleet vehicle operators should develop and maintain a fiscally sound inventory and priority schedule to replace or convert existing conventional fuel vehicles lower emitting and fuel efficient vehicles as new vehicles are purchased and existing vehicles are retired from service."38
KCAG adopted its most recent Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) in September 2022. This plan covers how the County will aim to address air quality by implementing transportation control measures (TCM).
These measures cover multiple topics which includes programs for improved public transit and alternative fuel vehicles/EVs, among others.
Public transit in the region serves as a vital alternative to private automobiles, significantly contributing to pollution reduction and providing essential mobility services. This enables residents, especially those with low mobility, to access commercial, medical, educational, and recreational opportunities within the county. Strategic enhancements to transit systems like Corcoran Area Transit (CAT) can foster increased ridership. These improvements can include expanded routes, updated schedules, the integration of multimodal transit facilities with Amtrak, and enhanced passenger amenities.
Kings County has made strides in decreasing vehicle emissions by transitioning to cleaner burning fuels, despite initial challenges due to developing technology and the scarcity of alternative fueling 38 County of Kings, 2035 Kings County General Plan, 2010, P. AQ-27:

Significant progress has been facilitated by funding from the SJVAPD, electricity utility companies, as well as state and federal funding programs. On the EV front, local agencies have secured electric vehicles and charging stations funded by grants. Private investments in EV charging facilities also complement local and regional efforts, with Tesla planning a significant expansion of its supercharger facility in Kettleman City.39
City of Corcoran Current Conditions & Goals
The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) developed the CalEnviroScreen 4.0 dashboard that provides an interactive tool to identify communities that are disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution. The scores are driven by indicators that analyze a variety of environmental and socioeconomic components. The goal is to reach low scores as this means that the city or region is cleaner for that particular indicator.
Much like the rest of the Valley, Corcoran experiences significantly high levels of air pollution. The average pollution indicator percentile values for the City are shown in Figure 12. The overall percentile for Corcoran ranges between 60% to 95%, as shown in Figure 13. 40 Figure 12: Corcoran Average Indicator Percentile Values Corcoran Average Indicator Percentile Values

Though EVs and charging infrastructure are not specified in the City's current General Plan, the General Plan does contain its own Air Quality Element which sets goals for the reduction of pollutants and an overall improvement of the City's environment. Notable goals include:
AQ Goal 2.A: Improve Air Quality, Land Use and Transportation Planning integration and reduce impacts through appropriate project location, design and application of best available technologies.
AQ Goal 5.A: Minimize exposure of the public to hazardous air pollutant emissions, particulates and noxious odors from freeways, major arterial roadways, industrial, manufacturing, and processing facilities.
AQ Goal 7.A: Increase general public and businesses awareness of the air quality contaminates and reduction activities and programs.
It is recommended that future updates to the General Plan also include measures for EV charging infrastructure as this will help ensure future developments are in line with the City's policies. 41 City of Corcoran, 2005-2025 General Plan, 2014, P. 7-12, 7-16, & 7-18:

EV Registrations
In a partnership with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), the CEC created numerous dashboards to keep track of the sales and populations of ZEVs, as well as EV chargers installed in the state. Each dashboard can be broken down to specific counties, metropolitan statistical areas (MSA), or ZIP codes.*2 As of the end of 2023, there is a total of 9,793 light-duty vehicles registered in the 93212 ZIP code. Of that total, 51 vehicles (.5%) were ZEVs including 21 all-electric and 30 hybrids, see Figure 14. This ZIP code has a lower EV adoption rate when compared to neighboring cities. The Hanford and Lemoore areas have a ZEV population share of 1.5% and 1.4%, respectively. However, it should be noted that Corcoran is expected to see an increase in ZEV population in the next decade, as will be discussed in Chapter 7.

CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 35 | Page Disadvantaged Communities
California Climate Investments are funds derived from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which are allocated by the Legislature and sourced from the State's Cap-and-Trade Program. These funds are explicitly reserved for investment in disadvantaged communities (DAC) across California, with a primary objective of further reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In accordance with Senate Bill 535 (De León, Statutes of 2012), a minimum of one-quarter of these funds must be allocated to projects benefiting DACs.
CalEPA is tasked with the identification of these communities, as stipulated by the legislation, and has developed an interactive map to keep track of the areas that are within the top 25% of DACs. Figure 18 shows that much of the City qualifies as a DAC based on SB 535 criteria.43 Figure 18: SB 535 Disadvantaged Communities*3

Public Outreach Findings
Following the public outreach efforts, several key findings emerged from the events attended, shedding light on community needs regarding EV infrastructure. Many participants expressed an interest in EVs and a desire for increased access to EV charging stations, emphasizing the importance of strategically locating chargers to maximize convenience and access. Community members noted the necessity for chargers in residential areas, shopping centers, and near public transportation hubs such as the 43 California Environmental Protection Agency, California Climate Investments to Benefit Disadvantaged Communities, 2022: https://calepa.ca.gov/envjustice/ghginvest/ CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 36 | Page Corcoran Depot to support a seamless transition to electric mobility. There was also significant interest in informational events to provide guidance on the available financial incentives for adopting electric transportation. Concerns were raised about the upfront costs of EVs, charging infrastructure, and range of these vehicles, highlighting the need for more financial support and incentives, charging stations, and general information regarding the ranges for EVs in today's market. Appendix D provides more details regarding the community outreach activities and data collected from the events. These insights are crucial as the City develops policies and plans to support the growth of EV infrastructure in the region. that align with the community's priorities and expectations.
CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 37 | Page CHAPTER 5: CORCORAN AREA TRANSIT FLEET ELECTRIFICATION PLAN Since 1975, the City of Corcoran has provided its own Dial-A-Ride (DAR) transit service, Corcoran Area Transit (CAT), serving Corcoran residents and those residing in the rural fringe areas of the City. The demand response service was expanded in 1989 to accommodate the general public. In 1999, Corcoran completed the construction of the Corcoran Depot which serves both Amtrak and CAT.
CAT operates under the City Manager's Department of the City of Corcoran, with oversight by the Transit and Grants Manager. The Transit and Grants Manager oversees the day-to-day operations and management of the system. The Corcoran City Council addresses community needs, which are executed by the transit administrator and staff. All CAT operating personnel, including managers, dispatchers, mechanics, and drivers, are employed by the City.
The CAT buses only offer transportation within City limits and fringe areas. However, rides can be scheduled in tandem with the Kings Area Regional Transit (KART) Corcoran-Hanford Route 13 and Amtrak to provide a greater range of travel. The Corcoran Depot is operational from Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., while Dial-a-Ride buses usually operate from 7:15 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Buses may also be available for special events.
Fleet Transition Requirements
The ICT Regulation, adopted by CARB, aims to transition California's public transit systems to zero- emission technologies by 2040. This regulation applies to all transit agencies that operate or lease buses with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 14,000 Ibs, covering various bus types such as standard, articulated, over-the-road, double-decker, and cutaway buses. The Corcoran Area Transit is considered a small agency, which is defined as operating fewer than 100 buses in urbanized areas with populations under 200,000.
Small transit agencies were required to create and submit a ZEB Rollout Plan by July 1, 2023, outlining how the agency intends to transition its fleet to ZEBs by 2040, including milestones and funding strategies.
As of the writing of this Plan, the City of Corcoran already has a transition plan that provides a roadmap and guide for CAT.44
Starting in 2026, 25% of new bus purchases for these agencies must be zero-emission, with this requirement increasing to 50% in subsequent years and reaching 100% by 2029. Flexibility options, such as early ZEB purchase credits, innovative mobility solutions, and the formation of joint ZEB groups, are available to assist in meeting these requirements. The regulation also mandates that transit agencies develop the necessary infrastructure to support ZEB operations. This includes charging stations, maintenance facilities, and workforce training programs to ensure smooth integration of zero-emission technologies. This will be explored in greater depth in the following sections.
The ICT Regulation provides some flexibility for small fleets. If a transit agency can demonstrate that zero- emission buses are not feasible due to operational or financial constraints, they may apply for exemptions or alternative compliance pathways. However, the agency must still show progress towards the overall goal of zero emissions. CAT must also submit annual reports to CARB detailing their progress towards 44 Kings County Association of Governments, ZEV Strategy and Final Report: Corcoran Area Transit ZEV Rollout and Implementation Plan, 2024: https://www.kingscog.org/vertical/sites/%7BC427AE30-9936-4733-B9D4- 140709AD3BBF%7D/uploads/CAT_ZEV_Rollout_Plan_Final(1).pdf CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 38 | Page meeting the ZEB purchase requirements and infrastructure development. These reports ensure transparency and accountability in the transition process.
Fleet Analysis & Ridership
As of the writing of this Plan, CAT is composed of six (6) vehicles: three (3) 29-foot buses and three (3) cutaways. All the vehicles are wheelchair accessible and five (5) are outfitted with a bike rack, see Table Table 4: Corcoran Area Transit Fleet
Year Vehicle # Make & Model Fuel Passenger Capacity + Wheelchair Spaces 2002 167 Ford E450 Diesel 15+2
2003 169 Ford El Dorado Diesel 22+2
2003 170 Ford El Dorado Diesel 22+2
2010 215 Ford E450 Gas 15+2
2010 216 Ford E450 Gas 15 + 2
2015 238 Ford El Dorado Diesel 22 + 2
According to Census Data45 , the fleet serves a total civilian population of approximately 14,200. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) keeps track of the operation of all the transit agencies in the country and provides statistics on their performance. Figure 19 shows the ridership trend that CAT has seen up to 2022.45
As Figure 19 shows, CAT has experienced a noticeable decline in ridership over the past few fiscal years (FY). The ridership numbers show a significant drop from 32,529 in FY 18/19 to 17,441 in FY 21/22. The most drastic decrease occurred during FY 20/21, which coincides with the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The pandemic undoubtedly had a substantial impact on public transportation usage, due to the fact that more people are able to work from home and others have reduced non-essential travel. However, it is important to note that ridership data reflects a downward trend even before the onset of the pandemic.
Nevertheless, there is potential for ridership to stabilize or even increase. The key to reversing this trend may lie in adapting to the evolving needs of the community. Enhancements to service reliability, frequency, and coverage could make public transit more appealing.
The City will need to carefully monitor ridership trends and consider conducting surveys or community engagement initiatives to understand the specific needs and preferences of residents. If there is a latent demand for more comprehensive service, expanding the network or increasing the frequency of existing routes could be beneficial.

As previously mentioned, the City has already developed a plan for acquiring its vehicles and successfully transitioning to a fully-electric fleet. The first ZEB purchase is expected to be made in 2025 and will continue until 2045. Although ICT sets the target for a full ZEB fleet by 2040, the schedule for CAT extends to 2045 to avoid the early retirement of fleet vehicles. According to the transition plan, all vehicles have a useful life benchmark of 20 years.

CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 42 | Page Electric Transit Infrastructure
One of the most challenging aspects of transitioning to ZEBs is deciding which model vehicle and type of charging technology best serves the City's needs. Factors such as the miles traveled and climate conditions impact the charging infrastructure needed.
Miles Traveled
The FTA also provides data about the total miles traveled by transit agencies. Looking at this data, provided in Figure 21, the estimated miles that a CAT bus can travel on an average day can be calculated.
Assumptions and calulations are included in Appendix B. During FY 2018/2019, each bus traveled an average of at least 30 miles per day. This resulted to be almost twice as much as the miles calculated for FY 2021/2022 which came in at 18 miles per bus per day. The actual miles traveled by each bus can vary based on the number of rides provided during the week, as fluctuating passenger demand directly affects the frequancy and length of trips for each vehicle. The CAT Rollout Plan notes that during 2019, the median distance was 67 miles and the maximum distance traveled was 108 miles 48 Battery capacity should be a primary consideration, with a preference for buses that can handle peak usage days and unexpected trips without significant strain. ZEBs with a range comfortably exceeding 30 miles per day would be ideal to ensure uninterrupted service, even on days when mileage is higher than average. The Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) provides funding for the purchase of eligible ZEBs. A list of eligible vehicles is provided on the program's website 49 also included in Appendix C. Many of the vehicles featured have ranges of 100 to 150 miles. 48 Kings County Association of Governments, ZEV Strategy and Final Report: Corcoran Area Transit ZEV Rollout and Implementation Plan, P. 11, 2024: https://www.kingscog.org/vertical/sites/%7BC427A30-9936-4733-B9D4- 140709AD3BBF%7D/uploads/CAT_ZEV_Rollout_Plan_Final(1).pdf 49 HVIP (2024): https://californiahvip.org/

Climate
Ideal temperatures for most EVs range between 70°F - 75°F. However, given Corcoran's hot summers and cold winters, it is possible that the City's climate can have an effect on EV battery range. A study performed by the American Automobile Association (AAA) tested a variety of EVs and collected data on how temperatures can impact vehicle range.So
AAA's findings noted that EVs do temporarily lose battery range depending on ambient temperatures.
However, range loss differs under hot and cold conditions. In general, it was found that range loss tends to be less during summer conditions when compared to the winter. This can be partly due to the usage of air conditioning and how much of a temperature change is needed to reach a comfortable cabin temperature (AAA considered 75°F as a comfortable cabin temperature). Figure 22 provides historical temperature data for the Hanford Area. Understanding these effects is crucial for planning the deployment and operation of ZEBs and their charging infrastructure, especially in regions with extreme temperatures, such as Corcoran, which experiences summer highs of 100°F to 110°F and winter lows of 25°F to 35°F.
While hot weather affects EV battery range, the impact is generally less severe than in cold weather, but it is still noteworthy. EVs are equipped with thermal management systems to keep the battery within an optimal temperature range. In hot weather, these systems work to cool the battery, which consumes additional energy and reduces overall range. However, the energy consumption for cooling is typically 50 American Automobile Association, AAA Electric Vehicle Range Testing, 2019:
https://www.aaa.com/AAA/common/AAR/files/AAA-Electric-Vehicle-Range-Testing-Report.pdf CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 44 | Page lower than for heating. On average, AAA found that vehicles lost 4% of battery range when ambient temperatures reach 95°F. This turns to 17% with the use of HVAC.
A more dramatic trend is seen in freezing temperatures, with range losses of up to 12% in 20°F weather.
This rises to a staggering 41% reduction of combined driving range with the use of HVAC.
Given that the City usually experiences temperatures well over 100°F during the summer and freezing temperatures below 30°F during the winter, it is important for fleet managers to consider bus models that will be able to comfortably operate even if conditions reduce the total battery range of ZEBs. Preventative measures may also be needed to reduce the impacts of temperature on these buses.
Storing the vehicles in shade during the summer and under sunlight during the winter can help mitigate this issue. Heating or cooling while the vehicle is plugged in can also reduce range loss. This can be done before drivers set off on their routes.
As of model year 2026, CARB will require all automakers to provide an 8 year/100,000-mile warranty for the EV's battery pack."' Manufacturers usually already provide these warranties, though coverage may vary from company to company. Fleet managers should be aware of everything that is covered by the warranties, as well as any exclusions.

Choosing a Site
Selecting suitable locations for EV charging stations is a multifaceted process that involves evaluating various factors to ensure that the chosen sites are optimal for accessibility, efficiency, and user convenience. However, a lack of knowledge about where to site EV chargers is still a significant challenge that inhibits the growth of charging networks in the state. Most have relied on third parties to decide where to place the chargers, and although this has worked reasonably well to this point, it still leaves room for improvement. Cities play a crucial role in this matter as they are able to establish criteria to be met and help guide the development of their network to better suit the community's needs.
The placement of chargers must be carefully strategized to lessen the probability of future problems and headaches. Industry best practices focus on four main factors. Figure 23 provides a breakdown of each criterion.
Proximity to Existing Electrical Utility
Proximity to existing electrical infrastructure significantly reduces the cost and complexity of installing new charging stations. Leveraging existing power sources and distribution lines minimizes the need for extensive and expensive electrical work, such as trenching and cabling, which can be both disruptive and costly. Additionally, locating chargers near existing utilities supports the seamless integration of smart grid technologies, facilitating load management and demand response strategies that optimize energy use and enhance grid stability.
Proximity to Existing Infrastructure
EV chargers in close proximity of existing infrastructure are essential for fostering a user-friendly and inclusive EV charging network. Situating chargers in parking lots and well-lit areas ensures safety and convenience for EV drivers, providing easy access to charging while they shop, dine, or conduct other activities. This strategic placement reduces the need for additional construction, minimizing both costs and environmental impact. Moreover, placing chargers along paved roads and near sidewalks enhances safety and accessibility, facilitating smooth integration into the urban landscape and ensuring compliance with accessibility standards such as the aforementioned ADA standards. By ensuring that EV chargers are located in highly accessible sites, Corcoran can encourage broader adoption of electric vehicles, support sustainable transportation initiatives, and cater to a diverse range of users, including those with mobility challenges.
Proximity to Densely Populated Areas
High-density areas often have a significant number of EV owners and potential adopters who require convenient access to charging facilities. By strategically positioning chargers in these areas, cities can cater to the daily commuting and travel needs of residents, ensuring that charging points are readily available where they are needed most. High-traffic zones, such as downtown areas, shopping centers, and transit hubs, see a constant flow of vehicles, making them ideal for capturing a wide range of users and promoting the visibility of EV infrastructure. This not only supports the transition to electric vehicles by alleviating range anxiety but also encourages more drivers to consider switching to EVs, knowing that reliable charging options are accessible in their frequent routes and destinations. Additionally, concentrating CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 47 | Page chargers in busy areas can enhance the economic viability of the charging network by ensuring steady usage, which can attract further investment and development in sustainable urban mobility solutions.
Charger Connectivity
Connectivity features such as cellular and internet network connections are essential for enabling real- time data transmission, remote monitoring, and control of charging stations. This connectivity allows for features like remote diagnostics, software updates, and dynamic load management, which enhance the reliability and functionality of the charging network. Additionally, connected chargers can facilitate seamless payment processing and provide users with valuable information through mobile apps or navigation systems, such as real-time availability, wait times, and charging status. This level of connectivity also supports the integration of smart grid technologies, allowing for better energy management and load balancing, which are crucial for maintaining grid stability as the adoption of electric vehicles grows.

Charger Ownership
As the EV charging industry continues to mature, more ownership models have been developed that help offset the long-term costs for cities and site hosts. Property owners are encouraged to explore all their options prior to deciding on which model to go with. Each model presents trade-offs between control, cost, and operational responsibility. Cities and property managers must carefully evaluate which model aligns best with their strategic goals and resources. A breakdown of the following ownership models are provided in Table 6.
Provider Ownership Model
One common model is the provider owned model, in which a vendor is responsible for the installation, ownership, operation, and maintenance of the chargers (i.e. EVgo). The site host (i.e. City, business owner, etc.) typically arranges an easement or lease agreement with the vendor to allow charging and related activities to be conducted on a designated location on the host's property. This model can reduce upfront costs for the host and leverage private investment but may result in less control over the location and pricing of the chargers.
CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 48 | Page Host Ownership Model
Another is the host-owned model, where the site host (i.e. City, business owner, etc.) owns and manages the chargers. This allows for complete control over the placement and pricing, ensuring alignment with the host's needs and policies. However, it requires significant capital investment and ongoing maintenance resources from the owner.

CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 49 | Page CHAPTER 7: RECOMMENDED CHARGING LOCATIONS
This chapter outlines the recommended locations for EV charging stations in the City of Corcoran, focusing on current and future charging needs. An assessment of the electrical grid capacity is provided to ensure the feasibility of installations at these sites. This chapter also includes exhibits and cost estimates for priority charging station locations in Corcoran. Calculations and assumptions used in determining these recommendations are documented in Appendix B.
Charging Needs
The KCAG EV Readiness Plan (EVRP) provides forecasts relating to charging needs in Corcoran. Figure 25 illustrates the estimated number of drivers that will need public chargers by 2030. The projected ZEV population is estimated to reach over 200 by 2025, and around 850 by 2030. Although adoption rates are currently lower than expected the increase in available charging infrastructure may encourage residents to purchase ZEVs and lead to some growth in EV population. Figure 24 highlights the EV adoption rate in Corcoran since 2017.

• Full-time Work Locally • Full-time Commuters Not Full-Time Full-time College The U.S. Department of Energy provides the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (EVI) Toolbox which provides resources for estimating the need of charging infrastructure at the regional level. The analysis team was able to utilize the EVI-Pro Lite Daily Charging Need Tool to get an approximate number of chargers needed in the Hanford-Corcoran area. However, the initial results were not necessarily indicative of the true needs for Corcoran. To mitigate this, the team considered the City's current EV Population, historic rate of adoption and the projection provided by the EVRP to better tailor these results.
To support the projected number of EVs according to KCAG's estimations, the City will need a total of 23 Level 2 chargers and 4 DCFC for the public by 2030. Additionally, approximately 809 single-family residential and 12 shared-private chargers will be needed to supplement public charging. A breakdown of charging needs is shown in Figure 26.

PG&E's Integration Capacity Analysis (ICA) map is designed to provide detailed information about the hosting capacity of the electrical distribution grid. The primary purpose of the ICA map is to help developers, planners, and other stakeholders identify locations on the grid where new distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar panels, battery storage, and electric vehicle charging stations can be actual capacity of the grid. In conversations with PG&E, it was revealed that the utility provider is currently developing an updated version of the ICA map which will include more information relevant to EVs and charging infrastructure.
Figure 27 illustrates the grid's capacity throughout much of the City. As can be seen, a large majority of areas have a minimum capacity of up to 1MW available. The number of total chargers that can be supported varies depending on actual grid capacities, the model of charger, and the electrical input required. The assumptions and models utilized are shared in Appendix B. With the assumed models and available capacity, approximately 56 Level 2 or 34 DCFC would be able to be powered with 1MW.

All the City-owned parcels were analyzed, as shown in Figure 28. The siting criteria presented in Chapter 6 was applied and each parcel was designated based on whether it had a low, medium, or high compatibility for EV chargers. After receiving public feedback garnered from the public outreach events, there were three key areas of the City that stood out. There were five sites within these areas that were considered a priority including the Public Works Lot, Corcoran Depot, the Recreation Association of Corcoran (RAC) lot, a downtown parking lot along Whitley Avenue, and the police department's lot.
Site 1 Analysis - Public Works Lot
The Public Works Lot was selected as the main charging location for CAT's ZEBs. The current fleet is stored onsite which is advantageous because there would not be much change in this regard. The lot is fenced in, well lit, and has security cameras installed. No major challenge is expected in installing EV chargers or in this parking lot. There is already existing electrical utilities and a transformer that may be able to be used as a connection point.
The buses are expected to be stored overnight when they are not in service. The long dwell times led to the recommendation of Level 2 charging with an output of 19.2kW. Charging times may vary depending on the model of bus that is acquired. It is estimated that a bus with a battery ranging between 94kWh to 156kWh may take anywhere between 5 to 8 hours to be fully charged. An additional Level 3 charger with an output of 60kW is proposed for use by City staff to quickly charge their vehicles.
Site 2 Analysis - Corcoran Depot
After feedback from the community and stakeholders, the Corcoran Depot emerged as one of the most popular sites to receive EV charging. As previously mentioned in prior Chapters, the depot serves as one of the main transportation hubs in the City. The parking lot is well kept and spacious. It is also along Otis Avenue, near the City Hall and downtown district, making it more convenient. The area is well lit and kept safe with security cameras that are mounted on the building. Although there are electrical facilities nearby, there is a need for extensions of the existing electrical lines. Furthermore, upgrades to a nearby transformer or a new transformer onsite will be required to supply sufficient power.
The initial recommendations for charging are two Level 2 chargers with an output of 19.2kW. Dwell times may vary, but the site's location does provide users an easy spot to access the City's downtown. Users that are picking up friends and family from the Depot will also be a able to charge while they wait.
Site 3 Analysis - Downtown Parking Lot
The downtown parking lot along Whitley Avenue will be the most convenient site for shoppers and visitors looking to explore the downtown district. It is located in the heart of downtown with a variety of restaurants, convenience stores, and services. The parking lot has lighting, but may need a monitoring system. Existing electricity lines run adjacent to the lot and there is an existing transformer that could be used to tie into the grid. Upgrades to the existing transformer may be required to supply sufficient power to this location.
A mix of Level 2 and DCFCs may be appropriate for this site. This allows users to get a charge whether they are running quick errands or will be in downtown for an extended period of time.
CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 54 | Page Site 4 Analysis - Recreation Association of Corcoran
The RAC was chosen because it offers residents a convenient location for charging. It is located in the middle of a densely populated area in the City and offers a variety of recreational activities to visitors. The area is well lit with ample parking spaces available. There is existing electrical lines and a transformer onsite. However, some upgrades are expected to be required for this transformer. A new curb ramp may also be needed to meet current ADA standards.
Being that dwell times could differ depending on the reasons why visitors charge at this location, the preliminary recommendation is installing two DCFCs. This will allow both residents and visitors to get a quick charge without requiring them to spend too much time at the site if they don't need to. Level 2 chargers can also be offered to supplement the DCFCs as visitors partaking in activities will be onsite longer, allowing for vehicles to charge slowly over a longer period of time.
Site 5 Analysis - Police Department
The Police Department currently does have Level 2 charging available for their fleet. This may be sufficient for now since some of their fleet consists of hybrid vehicles. This helps offset the charging demands and reduces charging times. However, the introduction of BEVs to the fleet may call for an upgrade to current facilities. Demands will increase as these vehicles have larger batteries. Dwell times are also not expected to be long enough to allow the current chargers to provide a sufficient charge for BEVs. The lot already has much of the required infrastructure in place to accommodate new chargers.
A DCFC is recommended for this location as this charger will expedite charging.

CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 63 | Page Charging for Multifamily Dwellings
Addressing the unique needs of homeowners and residents of multi-family dwellings (MFDs) is essential.
MFDs, including apartments, condominiums, and townhomes present distinct challenges and opportunities for EV charging infrastructure. These residential settings house a significant portion of the population, and facilitating EV adoption in these areas is crucial for not only achieving broader sustainability and air quality goals, but also complementing the public charging network and complying with CALGreen's EVCS requirements, as mentioned in Chapter 2.
MFDs face several challenges in implementing EV charging solutions including:
• Parking Access: Allocating and managing parking spaces for EV charging can be complex, particularly in densely populated areas.
• Electrical Service Access: Upgrading electrical infrastructure to support EV charging may require significant investments and coordination with utility companies. • Installation and Operating Costs: The costs associated with installing and maintaining EV charging stations can be a barrier for property owners and homeowners' associations (HOAs). • Legal and Regulatory Issues: Navigating the legal agreements between property owners, managers, and residents can be complicated.
To overcome these challenges, the California PEV Collaborative published guidelines in 2013 addressing charging for MFDs8. Property owners and managers can adopt various strategies and models outlined in the guide. The following explores potential solutions that can alleviate some of the burdens that come with implementing charging infrastructure.
Shared Charging Units
Installing common area charging units accessible to multiple residents can optimize space and cost efficiency. Not only does this open up charging for residents and guests, but it also gives more flexibility when placing the charging units as these spaces can be found closer to electrical access points. This is particularly relevant in Corcoran, where space may be limited for some properties. By providing shared charging facilities, property owners can ensure that more residents have access to charging infrastructure.
Dedicated Charging Spaces
In cases where charging is not a primary necessity for most residents, MFDs may elect to designate dedicated charging spaces for residents who own EVs. This will ensure reliable access and simplify management. This approach may require installation of metered connections to track individual usage.
Corcoran can encourage MFDs to adopt dedicated spaces by providing guidance on best practices for metering and managing these spaces. The City could also facilitate connections with vendors or contractors to streamline the installation process.
Third-Party Services
Partnering with third-party providers can alleviate financial and operational burdens on property owners.
These providers can handle installation, operation, and maintenance, offering a convenient solution for 58 California PEV Collaborative, Plug-in Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Guidelines for Multi-unit Dwellings, 2013: https://www.veloz.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/MUD_Guidelines4web.pdf CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 64 | P a ge MFDs. Corcoran can assist by helping property owners connect with reliable third-party service providers and offering technical assistance in evaluating contracts and service agreements. This partnership can ensure that charging stations are efficiently maintained and managed.
Financial Incentives and Support
Utilizing available grants, rebates, and incentives can significantly reduce the costs of installing EV charging infrastructure. The City can play a pivotal role by highlighting available state and regional programs, and helping property owners navigate the application processes for these financial supports. Corcoran may be able to share links and brief information about the various programs on the City's website to facilitate access.
By fostering these strategies, the City of Corcoran can enhance its role as a key partner in expanding EV charging access for MFD residents. The City can further support this initiative by organizing workshops and informational sessions for property owners and residents about the benefits and implementation processes for EV charging infrastructure. The Alterantive Fuels Data Center (AFDC), created by the U.S.
Department of Energy, provides more resources for multifamily housing and installing chargers at these locations. Property owners are encouraged to explore the options and guides provided. 59 U.S. Department of Energy, Electric Vehicle Charging for Multifamily Housing:

Incentives and funding opportunities play a pivotal role in accelerating the transition to sustainable transportation. This chapter explores some of the financial resources available to support the purchase and installation of EV charging equipment, spanning across federal, state, and regional levels. From tax credits to grant programs, these incentives not only aim to spur the proliferation of EV infrastructure but also to alleviate the financial burden on consumers and businesses alike. By exploring the diverse landscape of funding initiatives, stakeholders can gain insights into the mechanisms driving the expansion of EV charging networks and contribute to the realization of a cleaner, more sustainable future for transportation. It should be noted that the programs and incentives included in this Chapter do not fully encompass all of the available funding opportunities. Interested parties are encouraged to search for more funding options. CALSTART provides a plethora of useful tools, such as the funding finder which helps identify programs that may provide support for charging infrastructure projects. 60 Federal Funding
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program The CMAQ program is a federally funded initiative designed to assist local governments in reducing congestion and improving air quality. The program targets transportation projects that contribute to the attainment or maintenance of NAAQS, especially in non-attainment areas such as the San Joaquin Valley.
Projects eligible to receive funding include, but are not limited to, EVs and charging stations, diesel engine replacements and retrofits, transit improvements, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
CMAQ funding is generally allocated through a competitive application process, where projects are evaluated based on their potential to reduce emissions and improve air quality. The program can cover a significant portion of project costs, making it a valuable funding source for Corcoran to consider when expanding its EV charging network. Additional set-asides are also available which prioritize projects within DACs or low-income populations living in or adjacent to those areas.61 Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust
The Volkswagen Settlement, specifically the Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust (Trust), provides a significant funding opportunity for the City of Corcoran to develop its EV charging network. The company committed approximately $423 million to California to mitigate excess nitrogen oxide emissions.
Volkswagen Settlement Funds stem from a legal settlement between Volkswagen Group of America and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over violations related to diesel emissions. These funds are distributed through state-administered programs and are used to finance a range of projects such as the installation of EV charging stations, upgrades to transit fleets, and the deployment of zero-emission vehicle technologies. The primary objective of the Volkswagen Settlement Funds is to reduce air pollution, promote the adoption of electric vehicles, and support the development of a more sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation infrastructure.
As of the writing of this Plan, applications have been closed for charging stations. However, funding is still available for replacing older, high polluting transit vehicles with ZEBs.

Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS)
LCFS is a market-based policy implemented by CARB aimed at reducing GHG emissions from the transportation sector. Established in 2009, the LCFS requires a reduction in the carbon intensity (CI) of transportation fuels used in California, promoting the adoption of cleaner, low-carbon fuels and technologies. A CI score generated from the use of a given fuel is compared with the Cl benchmark that is set for each year. Low carbon fuels below the set benchmark generate credits, while fuels above generate deficits. Providers of transportation fuels must demonstrate that the mix of fuels supplied in California meet the LCFS CI standards, or benchmarks, for each compliance period.
The LCFS program offers several financial benefits to cities, helping to offset the costs of installing EV chargers and purchasing EVs. Cities that own and operate EV charging infrastructure can generate LCFS credits based on the electricity dispensed to EVs. These credits represent the environmental benefits of using cleaner electricity instead of conventional fuels. The credits can be sold in the LCFS market to fuel producers who need them to meet their Cl targets. This creates a revenue stream that cities can use to fund the installation and maintenance of additional EV charging stations. The revenue from selling LCFS credits can also be used to support the procurement of electric vehicles for municipal fleets. This includes public transit buses, municipal service vehicles, and other fleet vehicles, helping cities transition to cleaner transportation options. Credit prices vary depending on the year and demand for credits. As of 2023, the maximum credit price was set to $253.53 per credit, 69

CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 77 | Page CHAPTER 9: CONCLUSION
The journey towards integrating electric vehicles into the City of Corcoran's transportation network represents a pivotal shift in our approach to urban mobility, environmental stewardship, and community development. As the City moves forward, it must embrace strategies that not only meet current demands but also anticipate future needs and challenges.
Implementation Strategies
The implementation of EV charging infrastructure requires a comprehensive and collaborative approach, involving various stakeholders, including City officials, property owners, utility providers, and the community at large.
Establishing partnerships with utility companies and EV charging service providers is essential. These partnerships will help streamline the installation process, from securing permits to ensuring that chargers are optimally connected to the electrical grid. Additionally, collaborating with these entities will allow the City to leverage existing programs and incentives designed to reduce the upfront costs of charger installation for property owners.
Conducting thorough site assessments is crucial to identify optimal locations for EV chargers. These assessments should consider factors such as proximity to existing electrical infrastructure, visibility, accessibility, and traffic volume. Special attention should be given to areas that serve disadvantaged communities, as these neighborhoods often suffer the most from transportation-related pollution and stand to benefit significantly from cleaner transportation options. While this Plan proposes promising locations, there are no established plans for either site yet. The subsequent actions shall need the City officials, utilities, and potential site owners to engage in discussions regarding these suggestions, identifying sites with willing hosts, fine-tuning cost projections for charging equipment and setup, and pursuing funding opportunities.
Best Practices
Engaging with professional electricians and contractors experienced in EV infrastructure is paramount.
These professionals can help navigate technical specifications and ensure that installations comply with all relevant building and electrical codes. Additionally, prospective charging hosts can seek advice on futureproofing their installations by considering chargers that can accommodate different vehicle types and charging speeds.
Property owners should also evaluate financial incentives and rebates offered by the state and federal governments, as well as utility companies. These programs can significantly reduce the cost of installing EV chargers and may offer additional benefits, such as tax credits or reduced electricity rates for off-peak charging.
Creating a user-friendly environment is essential for encouraging charger usage. This includes clear signage, easy access to chargers, and integrating payment systems that are intuitive and flexible.
Implementing maintenance plans will also ensure that chargers remain functional and reliable, thereby enhancing user trust and satisfaction.

CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 84 | Page Electrical Grid Capacity
1. Based on PG&E's ICA Map, a majority of the City's grid has up to 1MW available. a. Assumed a 3-phase system for calculations
2. Design chargers chosen to execute calculations
a. For Level 2 Charging, the ChargePoint CP6000 was used as the design model i. Total Input Amperage Required = 92.4A (considers both ports in 3-phase system) b. For Level 3 DCFC, the Blink DC EVSE 60kW Standalone Charger was used as the design model i. Total Input Amperage Required = 78A (considers both ports)
3. Using the power formula for a 3-phase system, the input amperages for each charger model were converted to Watts.
P = V3xVxIxcosØ
Where:
P = Input Watts
V = Volts
cos = Power Factor
I = Input Amps
4. The assumed values for this equation are:
a. V = 240V for Level 2, V = 480V for Level 3
b. A power factor of 1 is ideal. However, to account for inefficiencies and variations in power quality, a power factor of .9 was used.
c. 1MW = 1000kW
5. After calculating:
a. P = 34.57kW/Charger for Level 2
b. P = 58.36 kW/Charger for Level 3
6. To estimate the number of Level 2 and 3 chargers that can be powered by 1MW, you can divide the 1MW by the total amount of kW needed to power one charger 1000kW
# of Chargers =
xkW /Charger
a. Approximately 56 Level 2 single-port chargers can be powered b. Approximately 28 Level 2 dual-port chargers can be powered c. Approximately 34 Level 3 single-port chargers can be powered d. Approximately 17 Level 3 dual-port chargers can be powered
7. The actual number of chargers that can be powered will vary depending on the model chosen as well as the capacity of the grid. The ICA Map is limited in the data that it provides. Capacities shown may not necessarily represent the actual capacity. Further consultation with PG&E will be required to accurately recommend charging stations and charging levels.
CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 85 | P a ge City of Corcoran Charging Needs
1. Using EVI-Pro Lite, a projection of the future charging needs of a metropolitan area can be projected given a target PEV population.
2. The Hanford-Corcoran area was used.
a. The tool requires the number of PEVs to be a minimum of 1% of the total light-duty vehicle population. The data utilized by the tool is from 2021
i. 2021 vehicle population = 188, 500
ii. Minimum of 1,200 PEVs are needed to run the model
b. The initial projection auto-populates with assumptions regarding vehicle mix, PHEV support, home charging access and ride-hail support. A majority of assumptions were kept the same. i. The default vehicle mix assumptions were kept. This includes:
1. PEV Sedans = 45%
2. PEV C/SUVS = 27%
3. PEV Pickups = 24%
4. PEV Vans = 4%
5. PHEV Share of PEVs = 40%
ii. Partial support for PHEVs was used as this indicates that a mix of both gasoline and charging will be needed on a typical day.
iii. Home Charging Access is assumed to be 98% by EVI-Pro Lite. This percentage is based on region specific estimates.$7
Conservative electrification is assumed for ride-hail support
3. With the assumptions above, the following charging needs were calculated:
a. 1,140 Single Family Charging (95.2%)
b. 17 Shared-private Charging (1.4%)
c. 36 Public Level 2 Charging (3.0%)
d. 5 Public DC Fast Charging (0.4%)
4. Taking these results, a ratio between the number of PEs and number of chargers can be calculated.
In this case, the ratio was approximately 1.001669 PEVs/charger.
5. This ratio was applied to the projected EV population as provided by KCAG's charging needs projection.
a. The projection estimates that there will be about 850 vehicles that will need charging by 2030 b. After applying the ratio calculated in the previous step, a combined 849 chargers are estimated to be needed to charge the projected vehicles.
6. By using the same charger share percentages provided in EVI-Pro Lite's projection, the breakdown of chargers is as follows:
a. 809 Single Family Charging (95.2%)
b. 12 Shared-private Charging (1.4%)
c. 23 Public Level 2 Charging (3.0%)
d. 4 Public DC Fast Charging (0.4%)

Background
The City of Corcoran engaged the community through events, surveys, and exhibits designed to gather feedback on local interest and knowledge about EVs. These sessions provided residents with opportunities to express their views, identify barriers to EV adoption, and share the information needed to make informed decisions. The survey, distributed during these events, received 61 English responses and 20 Spanish responses and offered valuable insights into public sentiment, interest levels, and informational needs related to EVs and incentive programs. The exhibits complemented the surveys by offering additional visual and interactive elements for gathering feedback. This direct interaction helps the City better understand the community's needs and plan more effectively for supporting EV adoption in the future.
Corcoran Farmers Market & Cotton Festival
There were two rounds of surveys collected. The survey was first distributed through the City of Corcoran website and the Corcoran Farmers Market where a total of 31 surveys were gathered. The second round of surveys was collected at the Corcoran Cotton Festival, with the total coming in at 30 surveys. A map of the City was provided, which allowed community members to specify locations where they would like to see charging stations implemented. This map featured the city limits, schools, parks, and transit and train stations within the city.

WHY DOES CORCORAN NEED AN ELECTRIC VEHICE (EV) CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN?
Corcoran needs an electric vehicle charging infrastructure network plan in order to meet long term local and statewide EV transportation needs and goals. Streamlining planning and permitting requirements will help reduce barriers to EV adoption for Corcoran residents. Updating Corcoran's current zoning ordinances and building codes can accelerate EV adoption in Corcoran by requiring new parking locations to install necessary infrastructure for future charging stations.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGERS? Depending on the type of charger available to you, charging an EV can take anywhere from as little as a few minutes to more than 8 hours. Level 1 chargers plug into the standard 120V wall outlets that you may find in your house. Level 1 chargers are best suited for overnight charging of off-peak hours. Level 2 chargers use 220V electric service and typically require a separate electrical panel installed. These types of chargers are the most common because they can be used in residential, workplace, or public charging applications to charge an EV within approximately two to four hours. Lastly, there are Level 3 chargers (DC Fast Chargers) that require commercial charging sites. Level 3 chargers can charge an EV within 15 to 30 WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES?
There are two primary types of electric vehicles, Battery Electric Vehicles and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) operate solely from the electricity stored in their on-board batteries; while plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) can utilize either their smaller on- board battery or gasoline like a conventional gas-powered vehicle. Although these two types of electric vehicles are most common, there are more options available for consumers to explore and consider.

WHY IS A PUBLIC ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE IMPORTANT FOR CORCORAN?
According to data from Kings County, almost half of drivers in our region do not have the ability to charge an EV at home and need access to public charging stations if they are to purchase an EV Developing a public charging infrastructure network will result in an increase of EV adoption, which in turn will result in healthier air quality benefits for the community WHO PAYS FOR INSTALLING THE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE?
Purchasing an electric vehicle typically requires a large financial investment, which is a significant barrier to EV ownership in and of itself. Similarly, public charging infrastructure also requires significant capital investments by local governments and public utilities. However, funding opportunities and incentives exist to offset these burdensome upfront costs. These funding opportunities and incentives help eliminate some of the EV adoption barriers that may prevent a lower-income households from making the switch to an EV. Utilizing these funding opportunities and incentives ensures that lower income and rural communities share in the benefits of an electrified transportation system. These incentive programs and funding opportunities are available through various utility companies, Air Districts, state, and federal programs. Additionally, it is also possible to apply multiple sources of funding to the same project or towards the purchase of the same vehicle. Further, many Corcoran residents are likely eligible for several of these funding and incentive programs because many of these funding sources are specifically allocated for low- income and rural communities.
HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE IN THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN PROCESS?
Being involved in ongoing community engagement events during the Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Network planning process and providing feedback will ensure that the planning efforts and final document remain aligned with the Corcoran community's priorities to ensure broad access to electrification benefits.

Please list any other comments or concerns regarding electric vehicle use in the City of Corcoran.
The grid usually is unable to sustain during the summer and we're affected by rolling blackouts. Don't understand how grid will sustain the added energy use when EV are required.
Will the city be adding free charging stations? It can bring more visitors to the city.
How are we to recycle these batteries. These EV's are worse to the environment than vehicles that run on gas
I would like to see charging stations at the train Station. That's a big parking lot that can fit many ev chargers so people that live here or are traveling on the 43 can charge theirs vehicles We need more ev charging stations
Would be great opp for the community though
That it takes a long time to charge the EVs
I own an EV and would never go back. More charging stations downtown and at Cost Less CORCORAN EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK PLAN 107 | Page City of
