3 Guidelines for Public Agency EV Charging Hub Grant Program These guidelines are meant to guide development of an electric vehicle (EV) charging program designed to expand community access to publicly-owned EV charging located near concentrations of multi-family buildings, with a focus on locations near dedicated affordable housing.
Program goals and scope
The program should:
1. Enable convenient, affordable, and accessible overnight EV charging for multi-family residents at publicly-owned locations
2. Enable public agencies to leverage additional grant funding to expand the number of chargers installed and number of sites with EV chargers.
Program design
The Public Agency EV Charging Hub Grant Program will prioritize available funding for sites that meet the following conditions:
Charging hubs must be at locations owned by a public agency Charging hubs must be within ¼ mile of multi-family buildings, with a preference for dedicated affordable housing
Must be accessible to the public for overnight charging Includes cost recovery for City grant funding contributions through charging an adder and/or by receiving the Low Carbon Fuel Standard credits for charging delivered through chargers funded by City grant. Cost recovery should be designed so as not to make charging rates unattractive
Charging must be provided at cost, including the cost of electricity, operation, charger head replacement, and any additional City charges such as a cost recovery adder
Must be at least ¼ mile away from other publicly owned EV charging hubs City funding may be used to leverage other grant funding to provide additional publicly accessible chargers at other locations, so long as the original locations approved for City grant funds are built.
