1 EV INFRASTRUCTURE MASTER PLAN
GOALS
• A roadmap to compliance with
Advanced Clean Fleet and
Innovative Clean Transit regulations
• Strategy for continuity of fleet
operations, city services
• Establish priority of integration
with city-owned facilities
2 GRANT FUNDING - EECBG
• Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and
Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG)
will become available this year
• Santa Rosa’s block appropriation is $210,000
for eligible activity of our choice
• Funding will be used to develop Santa Rosa’s
Electrical Vehicle Master Plan Update
• Council approved undesignated general funds
for remainder of project
3 CURRENT EFFORTS - FLEET&
FACILITYEVALUATION
• Fleet Electrification Market and Charging Analysis
• Study existing fleet usage and availability of replacement Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Light-, Medium-, and Heavy-duty vehicles
• Assess types of charging stations needed to match vehicle usage • Facility Energy and Resiliency Evaluation
• Assess renewable energy application at facilities, including current load considerations and financial impacts
• Analyze site suitability for renewables, energy storage, and backup generation capacity 4
Fleet Analysis
• City of Santa Rosa has a diverse
fleet, totaling 400+ vehicles
• Majority are gasoline or diesel
• City fleet has high suitability for
transition, most vehicles can be
replaced with commercially
available EV's with proper charging
infrastructure
• Exemptions are currently in place
for utility vehicles with specialized
equipment & retrofits
5 Charging Infrastructure Options Evaluation
EV Charging Software & Hardware:
• Team Evaluated Software options –
Charging Management Systems (CMS)
• Team evaluated Hardware Options
and their Compatibility with CMS
• Key Needs:
• Compatibility with vehicle telematics
• Synergy with PG&E/SCP programs,
requirements and rate structures
• Individual site load management tools 6
Charging Evaluation Site Selection
• Sites were selected by number of
vehicles stationed at each location
and operational needs
• 8 sites were identified: MSC North,
UFO, LTP , MSC South, Finley
Community Center, City Hall,
Brown Farm, and Station 4
7 Next Tasks
• GHG Analysis
• Capital Cost Estimates
• External Funding Sources
• Off Grid Charging
• Private EV Charging
