Establish City Hall Electric Vehicle Charger FeesC.1 23-065 The Green Committee and staff recommend that EV charger rates be set by kWh used, with a time of use (TOU) fee structure (higher rates during peak hours, 4:00-9:00 PM) and either discounted rates or free charging for City staff. Staff recommends an off -peak price of 25 cents per kWh (9 pm - 4 pm), and a peak price of 40 cents per kWh (4 pm - 9 pm) for the public EV chargers. Should Council decide to charge City staff a discounted rate for EV charging, staff recommends 15 cents per kWh, as most charging would occur during off-peak hours.
