Staff Report
To: Board of Directors
From: Scott Terrell
Date: April 16, 2004
The District was approached several months ago regarding the our willingness to work with the
Electric Auto Association in finding a site in Truckee to locate an electric vehicle charging station.
Staff provided Tom Dowling with the EAA contact information about possible sites. The main areas
looked at were the Historic Downtown, the Aibertson's/Lucky shopping center, the Safeway/Rite Aid
shopping center and the Factory Outlet shopping area. All these areas, except the Factory Outlets,
felt an electric vehicle charging station would not work for them due to existing parking problems, etc.
The EAA received grant funding to provide electric vehicle charging stations along the 180 corridor
and Lake Tahoe. The grant pays for the EV charging station and its installation. Attached is
information from EAA about their organization and the EV charging stations they are installing in
northern, CA.
Truckee Donner PUD is being asked to provide an electrical connection between our current electric
service infrastructure at the Factory Outlet stores and a proposed EV charging station. They are
proposing to locate the EV charging station at the two parking spots immediately to the left as you
come through the entrance to the Factory Outlets along Donner Pass Road. EAA would like some
financial help in covering the cost of providing an electrical connection to the EV charging station.
EAA is also asking TDPUD to cover the cost of the electricity to charge the vehicles as they stop in
Truckee. There is an estimated 25 charges per year at this location. At a maximum of about 30 kwhs
per charge(full charge)each charge could cost upwards of$3.50. This would amount to a$88 annual
cost to the TDPUD at retail rates. TDPUD's purchase price would be about half this cost. This site
will be metered to determine the actual cost of supplying electricity. The North Tahoe PUD is working
with the EAA to locate a charging station in Tahoe City.
Reccomendation
That the TDPUD work with the Electric Auto Association to provide an electrical connection to an EV
charging station at the Truckee Factory Outlets and the TDPUD cost share will not exceed $1,000. In
addition, TDPUD would also agree to waive the cost of electricity to electric vehicles charging at this
location.

April, 2004
he Electric Auto Association (EAA), a non-profit public benefit
organization, is spearheading a project to install electric vehicle
charging stations in Truckee and Placer County, to establish a
route that will connect with existing electric vehicle charging stations
in the Sacramento area and Placerville. This will enable electric
vehicles to make the trip from the Vacaville and Sacramento areasi
and;even ftom the Bay Area, to Trucke(E and Placer County and Lake
Tahoe destinations.
This project is funded by a 2003 Clean Air Grant from the Placer Air
Pollution Control District and co-funded by the-Electric Auto
Association. We have also applied for a 2004 Clean Air Grant to
complete the project. There is no cost to site owners for permit or
construction or maintenance costs under this project. Site owners are
expected to furnish parking spaces and electricity costs. Electricity
costs are estimated at $3.00 per vehicle visit. Site owners benefit
from cleaner air and a good corporate citizen image and reputation,
and from visits from high-disposable income electric vehicle owners
who need to spend time while charging. At these sites, a typical
charging visit would be at least three hours.
Project contractor: Clean Fuel Connection,Inc.
Project sub-contractor: Sathy Electric
See the following pages for a map of the proposed sites in the overall
project, and photos of the already completed installations in Roseville
and Colfax. We have concluded the agreements for an installation in
Auburn, and will start construction there in the near future. The 2003
grant will fund the Truckee and Tahoe City sites. With the 2004 grant
and EAA co-funding, we intend to complete sites in South Lake Tahoe,
Lincoln, Nyack, Rocklin, and Granite Bay.
You will also find in the following pages information from the EAA
regarding the benefits of electric vehicles, and sample agreement
pages. (Site owners need to sign a no-cost construction contract.)

f"Nurrently, hundreds of electric car chargers are located along
Lcommuting routes in California, but relatively few offer a chance
MOOto charge up on leisure trip. The Placer County project aims to
change all that, expanding the existing infrastructure into the Tahoe
region. Locations in Truckee and Tahoe City will allow electric car
owners to leave their gas cars at home on regional trips to Lake
Tahoe, making a small but significant contribution to reducing air
pollution along the I-80 corridor.
See www.evchargernews.com for listings of the existing charging
stations in California and elsewhere.

Why Electric Vehicles'
- EVs (electric vehicles) produce zero tailpipe emissions and up to "POWEREDDY99% lower emissions than gasoline and diesel vehicles. EVs help
America reduce its dependence on oil. t_
Thousands of EVs are registered across the country. New battery technology gives full-
,, ,.. function EVs ranges of 80-120 miles per charge traveling at highway speeds. An EV fits
perfectly into multi-car households; the EV for everyday travel, and a hybrid or conventional
`•: car for extended trips. Studies have shown that 80% of commuters travel less than 40 miles
>• per day. How about you? Could 100 mile range and convenient refueling at home meet your
daily driving needs?
We know there is a market for EVs. Every EV produced is immediately sold or leased! EVs
54�>']ii fn are high performance vehicles and priced competitively when measured against comparable
gasoline-powered vehicles. In addition, fuel and maintenance expenses are significantly
- lower for EVs. And talk about lasting value, an electric drive motor provides as many as
1,000,000 miles of service. The initial purchase price for EVs will drop as production volume
increases. Prices always go down as volume goes up - Henry Ford knew that long ago! In
the meantime, EV owners enjoy the financial benefits of significantly lower fuel and
maintenance expenses.
EVs are a clean., efficient alternative to conventional vehicles - using technology readily
available today!
EVs, Hybrids, and Fuel Cell VehicWs
-- There are primarily three electric vehicle technologies in America today: electric vehicles
(EV), hybrid gasoline/electric vehicles (Hybrid), and Fuel Cell vehicles.
EVs draw electricity from batteries to power an electric motor to propel the vehicle,
generating zero emissions. Hybrid gas/electric vehicles use both a battery-powered electric
motor and a conventional gasoline-powered engine for propulsion, Hybrids generate tailpipe
emissions, but less than its gasoline counterpart. Fuel cell vehicles use an onboard fuel cell
to generate electricity to power an electric motor to propel the vehicle. Fuel Cell vehicles are
emissions free, but decades away from a commercial market.
EV technology is at the core of all three. But a big difference between EVs, Hybrids, and Fuel
t _ Cell vehicles is the method used to generate the electricity that powers them. The batteries
in an EV are charged using standard household electricity and electricity captured by
- regenerative braking. An EV can be'filled-up'at home. The battery in a Hybrid is charged
internally by electricity generated by the gasoline engine and electricity captured by
regenerative braking. A Hybrid can be'filled-up'at the neighborhood gas station. The
electricity that propels a Fuel Cell Vehicle is generated from the combustion of hydrogen in
,�. ; s• ^' ""�' ; its onboard fuel cell. There is no infrastructure for dispensing hydrogen into vehicles;
therefore, while this vehicle technology is promising, it is not yet practical.

US oil production has been declining since 1970 (since 1998 in Alaska) and US
imports have risen by 67% since 1970'. The Union of Concerned Scientists
states the US (4% of the earth's population) consumes 25% of the world's total oil
production2, Our demand grows daily. We must have alternatives!
Electric Vehicle Information
Why va?
EVs offer the best and cheapest alternative to petroleum-based transportation. Driving an
EV helps improve the quality of life for all Americans. They are fun to drive. It is patriotic!
Are, EVs safe?
Yes. EVs must pass all state and federal safety standards.
Can EV3 Ste fost?.
Yes! For real speed, check out the National Electric Drag Racing Association (nedrarO,m).

cost no more than conventional cars and trucks in every price range. Many states and the
federal government recognize this low-volume pricing issue and offer incentives to reduce
the initial cost of buying or leasing an EV.

No. A Toyota RAV4-EV costs less than 3 cents/mile to operate. EVs are nearly maintenance
free (no smog checks, oil changes, or tune-ups). At $2.00 per gallon, a gasoline-powered
of
car must average 67 mpg to match this!

Build an EVI
Today there are limited production electric vehicles (EVs) available, so converting an
= existing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle to an electric vehicle (EV) might be the
best choice available to obtain an EV.
Building your own electric vehicle (EV) can be a rewarding and challenging experience. Not
only will you be a pioneer in the EV movement, but you will also be recycling a car that may
be headed for the junk yard. Don't wait for Detroit. Custom build an EV yourself'.
A typical EV conversion will achieve a range of 30-60 miles for each charge. Studies have
shown that 80% of commuters travel less than 40 miles per day, and 50% of commuters
travel 20 miles (or less) per day. An EV conversion can meet those daily driving needs.
EVs are a clean, efficient alternative to conventional vehicles - using technology that is
readily available today! EVs produce zero emissions, and when you consider the full fuel
cycle to generate electricity, are up to 99% cleaner than gasoline and diesel vehicles, EV
owners enjoy the financial benefits of significantly lower fuel and maintenance expenses.
Finally, EVs help reduce our dependence on oil.
What steps are iin
This overview provides a hlgh,leuef framework f6t performing a conversion. Please review
the`'references and gther-Minks (in the next section) for mare.complete information.
1. Determine your driving needs-z range - the distance you travel in a single day; type of
vehicle - family car, commuter,-utiiityveh}cle, dr racing car:`
2. Look for an EV kit for the vehicle you choose, Kits will make the conversion significantly
easier - they include all of the parts, except batteries, A conversion kit will cost about
$4,000-$6,000, and the batteries, depending on how many you need, can cost another
$700-$1,200.
3. Make sure you have access to the proper tools and supplies, and a place to do the
conversion. You may need to rent equipment like engine hoists and contract out
welding work. Contact EV veterans for advice and assistance.
4. Familiarize yourself with the EV components that will be installed. The most common
batteries for EV conversions are lead-acid batteries, specifically, 12-volt sealed batteries.
5. Safety, Any project involving automobiles and tools has inherent risks, Be aware of
these possible hazards to prevent damage to the vehicle and serious injury to you.
6. Remove the ICE components, making room for the EV components.
7. Install the motor, components, battery box, and batteries.
SIGa iW1 8. Install the wrong for propulsion (traction pack), auxiliary power system (12-volt
system), traction pack charging system, and displays and controls.
9. Safety testing. Test the battery charger; check the wiring and fuses,
connections, Then take it out for a spin and notice the quiet, smooth ride. Be
sure to show it off!

What are emissions and why are they bad'
Components of air pollution include: Carbon Monoxide (CO) - reduces the blood's ability to
carry oxygen, aggravates lung and heart disease, and causes headaches, fatigue, and
dizziness. Sulfur Dioxides (SOx) - when combined with water vapor in the air become the
_ major contributor to acid rain. Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) - cause the yellowish-brown haze over
dirty cities, and when combined with oxygen becomes a poisonous gas that can damage lung
,.t. tissue. Hydrocarbons (HQ are a group of pollutants that react to form ozone (0,), some HCs
cause cancer and others can irritate mucous membranes. Ozone (0,) is the white haze or
_ smog seen over many cities. Ozone can irritate the respiratory system, decrease lung
_ function, and aggravate chronic lung diseases (such as asthma). Carbon Dioxide (CO,),
although naturally occurring, can cause problems. In large quantities it allows more sunlight
to enter the atmosphere than can escape - trapping excess heat that can lead to the
"greenhouse effect" and cause global warming.
Ozone is a toxic gas, but it's not emitted directly from tailpipes. Ground-level ozone is formed
_ by a chemical reaction between VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and NOx, released from
fuel combustion, in the presence of sunlight. Ozone concentrations can reach unhealthful
levels when the weather is hot and sunny with little or no wind 2. Gasoline and diesel powered
cars, trucks, and buses are the major sources of NOx and VOCs.
According to the American Lung Association', ozone is a serious threat to public health.
Exposure to high levels of ozone causes significantly higher rates of asthma in children. In
pregnant women, it can cause a significantly higher rate of babies with birth defects.
Where do the emissions come fro
Before comparing the emissions associated Full Fuel Cycle—
with vehicles and fuel types, consider the full em iyn e4 aft<aa-orsi�jofs-_::as?h
fuel cycle. Emissions are generated at each be_-=,Pwod n4 hA;fue;v7 ba,�
step in this cycle extraction of raw fuel
(feedstock), transportation, storage,
processing, and distribution to the vehicle
itself, or"well-to-tank"emissions; emissions
are also generated by the vehicle itself, "tank-
- re.' to-wheels". The full cycle is referred to as
"well-to-wheels". ;J'
Vehicles are defined by the level of emissions ....-,..�,i.,....
- (tank-to-wheels) the y produce: low-emissions (LEV), ultra-low emissions (ULEV), super low-
emissions (SULEV), partial zero emissions (PZEV), and zero emissions (ZEV). Basically, LEVs,
ULEVs, SULEVs, and PZEVs produce lower vehicle emissions than vehicles built prior to 1972,
but do little to reduce CO2 emissions. PZEVs go a step further than SULEVs by eliminating
-- _ °- emissions from the vaporization of fuel in the gas tank and fuel system. Lower emissions
• ..,..- levels are achieved by control systems installed on these vehicles. However, these systems
degrade over time, which reduces their effectiveness in controlling emissions. ZEVs, on the
other hand, produce no emissions and so have no need for emissions systems!
M�p _ _� =`a_'i
Electric vehicles (EVs) produce zero emissions from the vehicle itself- and are classified as
ZEVs. The only emissions are those released during the generation of electricity (from coal,
= - - natural gas, etc.). However, even those emissions can be eliminated if the electricity is
generated from renewable sources, such as solar or wind!

"Despite decades of air "=ems

million Americans still live in areas with chronic smog problehi§Americans are
driving more miles each year, partially offsetting the environmental benefits of individual
vehicle emissions reductions.i5 And the mix of vehicles on the road includes a greater
number of higher emissions vehicles (trucks and'SUVs), making the problem worse.
According to the California Air Resources Board (CARB)6, even when taking into account
power plant emissions,ZEVs are 98% cleanerthan the average 2002wehicleand 95%
cleaner thanthe lowest emitting conventional vehickmot including the well-to-tank
emissions for gas powered vehicles). Emissions from central power plants are easier to
control than emissions generated by millions of cars on the road. Future power plants will be
more efficient and even cleaner. When they utilize renewable energy sources, such as wind
and solar energy, the full "well-to-wheels" emissions for EVs will be zero! It is not possible to
achieve zero "well-to-wheels" emissions for a vehicle that uses a gasoline or diesel engine.
' Many EV drivers have not waited for central power plants to switch to renewable electricity
generation. They have installed photovoltaic cells on their homes to generate clean electricity
from the sun today! With EVs you actually have an option for fuel sources (for electric
" generation) - including renewable sources - with gasoline-powered vehicles there are no
other options - only gasoline.

CLEAN FUEL CONNECTION, INC.
APPLICATION FOR PLACER COUNTY AIR POLLUTION CONTROL
DISTRICT CLEAN AIR FUND YEAR 2004 FUNDING
ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS (7)
PROJECT MERIT
Background
There are now approximately 500 Battery Electric Vehicles (EVs) on
the roads in Northern California. There are approximately 50 in the
Vacaville (Solano County) program alone. Many of these EVs are on
three- to five-year leases, and a significant percentage of the Toyota
RAV4 EVs has been purchased, rather than leased. Additional EV
charging infrastructure is being installed in Solano County. The South
Coast Air Quality Management District has approved a major project to
upgrade twenty-five charging stations in their jurisdiction. The need
for maintaining and expanding the EV charging infrastructure is very
much still with us, and will continue throughout and beyond the five-
year life of the proposed project.
Strategically-placed charging infrastructure is an important factor in
increasing the utilization of existing EVs, and reducing vehicle miles
traveled by internal combustion engine vehicles.
Clean Fuel Connection, Inc. applied for a 2003 Clean Air Grant of
$148,000 to install 16 charging stations. The award was for $48,000.
We were able to raise some additional funds to leverage the Grant,
and we are happy to report that we expect to be able to install nine
charging stations under the 2003 Grant. Three of those stations have
already been installed. Construction is about to start on two more,
and we are busy lining up site agreements for the remaining four. We
will not have enough funds to install the final seven charging stations
originally contemplated; therefore, this application is for funds that will
allow us to complete the original project.
Benefits — Local and Regional
There is substantial EV charging infrastructure in the Bay Area, in the
Vacaville and Davis areas, and in the Sacramento area. In the Placer
and El Dorado County areas, there are EV charging stations in
Roseville, Granite Bay, Colfax, El Dorado Hills, and Placerville. A new
charging station will be installed soon in Auburn under the 2003 Clean
Air Grant, and we expect Truckee and Tahoe City to follow soon
thereafter. Expanding the infrastructure to new locations increases
the value and usefulness of the previously installed infrastructure.
Reduces Vehicle Miles Traveled / Fuel Shift
Up to now, EV trips further east than Colfax have not been practical.
We now have the opportunity to leverage the recently installed
charging station in Placerville, along with the existing infrastructure in
western Placer County and further west. Strategically placed charging
stations will enable not only local residents, but also Bay Area and
Solano, Yolo, Nevada, Sacramento, El Dorado, Yuba and Butte County
EV drivers (and others) to make trips to and through Placer County.
Each of these trips will eliminate a trip by an Internal Combustion
Engine vehicle, thus reducing NOx and other emissions in Placer
County and in surrounding areas, providing for a cleaner environment.
(See the attachments for a map, and photos of the new installation at
Costco in Roseville, and the newly upgraded installation at the Amtrak
station in Colfax.)
The CalTrans/CARB handbook does not include methods for performing
Emission Reduction and Cost Effectiveness Calculations for Alternative
Fuels Infrastructure projects, since this infrastructure is necessary to
support and encourage Zero Emission Vehicles. It is not possible to
accurately predict the number of trips that will be shifted from ICE to
ZEV, but the shift is expected to be substantial. Expansion of the EV
charging infrastructure is certainly "consistent with clean air plans," as
specified by the handbook, and greatly enhances the usefulness of EVs
for Northern California EV drivers.
The sites proposed have been discussed with and suggested by EV
drivers residing in Sacramento and Placer Counties, and also with
drivers residing in Yolo and Solano Counties and the Bay Area.
Economic benefit
Experience shows that EV drivers patronize merchants in the vicinity of
charging stations. They stop at a location for two or three hours or
more, and visit shops and attractions in the local area. Costco, for
instance, has found that significant numbers of EV drivers have
become Costco members. Many of them would probably not be Costco
members were it not for the charging stations found at many Costco
locations
MATCHING FUNDS
Matching funds for this project will be in kind, except for electricity
costs.
Site owners will contribute dedicated parking spaces and electricity
costs. We estimate the value of an improved dedicated parking space
at $4,000. (This estimate comes from actual parking lot construction
costs in Solano County.) 7 spaces x $4,000 = $28,000. We estimate
electricity costs at $35 per month per charging station. 7 stations x 60
months life of project x $35 = $14,700. Total site owner contribution
is $42,700.
The Electric Auto Association (EAA) (a 501(c)3 public benefit
organization, headquartered in San Jose, California, an organization of
EV drivers and enthusiasts) is also supporting this project. EAA
member volunteers will be doing site surveys, contacting site owners,
and assisting in coordination between the District, the site owners, and
Clean Fuel Connection, Inc. We estimate a total of eight days site
determination and coordination per site, for a total of 32 days of EAA
support. We conservatively value this effort at $200 per day, including
travel, for a total of $6,400. In addition, the EAA will contribute
supplemental signage, for a total of $25 per charging station, or $175,
making the total EAA in-kind contribution $6,575.
COST ESTIMATES
The costs listed are not based on actual site surveys, but are estimates
based on experience with hundreds of charging station installations
performed by Clean Fuel Connection, Inc. Individual site costs may
actually be higher or lower than the estimate. We are confident,
however, that we can complete the entire project for the total cost
listed.
REQUIRED INFORMATION
The information required for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations, as
listed on page 9 of the application package, is as follows:
a. The number of charging stations we are applying for is 7. There
are 4 locations. The total number of new inductive charging
stations applied for is 4, and the total number of new conductive
charging stations applied for is 3. (One of the 4 locations has an
existing conductive charging station.)
b. The locations of each type of charging station are listed on the
page entitled Construction Costs. There are four proposed
locations: Cisco Grove (or Nyack), Lincoln, Granite Bay, and
Rocklin.
c. The number of electric vehicles that will/could be charging at
each of the stations is as follows:
Committed: 0
Potential: 500 (existing vehicles in Northern California)
Future: (beyond five years) unknown
d. All of the charging stations will meet all of the criteria listed in
1), 2) and 3) on page 9 of the instructions. The inductive
charging stations will be manufactured by Toyota or General
Motors, and the conductive charging stations will be
manufactured by EVI.
e. The District funded electric vehicle charging stations via Clean
Air Grant 2003 to Clean Fuel Connection, Inc. The request was
for $148,000 for sixteen charging stations, and the grant was for
$48,000. We were able to raise additional funds from other
sources (Electric Auto Association (EAA) and Roseville Electric),
and we have already completed construction on three stations
(Costco in Roseville (2) and the Amtrak Station in Colfax (1)).
We are about to commence construction on two more stations,
at the California Welcome Center in Auburn. We have made
contacts through the Truckee Donner Public Utility District, and
have identified a site in Truckee which we expect to sign up
soon. We are contacting sites in Tahoe City and Nyack
(replacing Cisco Grove).
Although we received only one-third of the funds requested, with
the help of other sources of funds we expect to complete nine
charging stations, over half of the originally proposed number.
We consider the 2003 Clean Air Grant a big success. The stated
objectives have been met in excess of the ratio of funds received
to funds requested.
The final performance report is not yet due, since the project is
still in progress. The report will be submitted by the due date.

Dear Mr. Vintze:
The Electric Auto Association (EAA) fully supports the application for a 2004 Clean Air
Grant by Clean Fuel Connection, Inc.
The FAA is composed of EV drivers and enthusiasts. There are about 300 FAA
members in Northern California, and another 500 elsewhere in the country_
The FAA is proud of the work it has done in support of the 2003 Clean Air Grant. Many
hours have been invested in finding sites and coordinating installations. Installations in
Roseville and Colfax have been completed. and an installation in Auburn has been agreed
to and will start construction very soon. We have contacts in Truckee and Tahoe City,
and are working towards agreements for construction at those locations.
With part of the route in place, all of us are eager to see the day when we can broden our
EV travel horizons (and Spare the Air!) by using this new, expanded public charging
network.
EAA members will be assisting (on a volunteer basis) in the coordination of this project,
contacting site owners, and working with Clean Fuel Connection and the District in the
implementation of this exciting and worthwhile endeavor.
Clean Fuel Connection, Inc. and its predecessor,Edison EV, have installed hundreds of'
EV charging stations in California. They are a subcontractor to SMUD on man), projects.
They are a licensed contractor (License No. 770564). as well as a distributor for charging
equipment.
As Charging Infrastructure Liaison for the EAA. I personally assisted in the preparation
of the application. You may contact me for any questions. My mailing address is above.
My phone number is 916-988-3459 (cell 916-712-5873). My e-mail address is
charging veaaev,orp or tomatwdowling.com .
In addition to my work for the EAA, I maintain a charger listing at
www.evchargernews.com . You may want to look at it to get an idea of what other
charging stations are in the area. You'll find lots of photos there, too. The two new
installations, at Costco in Roseville and at the Amtrak station in Colfax, are represented
there.
We also have established an "Adopt-A-Charger"program, where local drivers can watch
over chargers located near them, making sure they are kept clean and in good working
order, that signage is in place and that parking restrictions are observed, etc. We
certainly intend to extend this all-volunteer program to these new charging stations when
they come on Iine, as we already have for the two locations from the 2003 grant that are
I
ow in service.
Thank you.

Subject: Utter of Support for the Clean Fuel Connection, Inc. Application for 2004 Clean Air
Errant Funding
Dear Mr. Vintze:
As the Transportation Systems Manager and the Electric Vehicle Incentive Program Manager for
the City of Vacaville in Solano County, I strongly support the application by Clean Fuel
Connection, Inc- (CFCI) for 2004 Clean Air Grant funding to install a substantial amount of
needed electric vehicle public charging infrastructure throughout the greater Placer County area
in and around the jurisdiction of the Placer County Air Pollution Control District. This
additional infrastructure will provide the opportunity for more of us electric vehicle owners to
"drive electric" through Placer County and beyond.
The unique Electric Vehicle Incentive Program that I oversee as one of my responsibilities with
the City of Vacaville has resulted in the City having the highest number of electric vehicles per
capita (on the residential side) of any city in the nation. We were the first City in the nation to
utilize federal air quality grant funding to help buy down the lease costs of freeway capable
electric vehicles for our residents. We have realized such success that we were awarded
additional federal air quality grant funding to expand our unique program to anyone who lives in
or works in the northeastern portion of Solano County which is at the western edge of the
Sacramento Valley Nonattainment Area. The City has coordinated the delivery of 73 General
Motors EVls, seven Chevy S-10 Electric Pickup Trucks, four Ford Ranger EV Trucks, and
sixteen Toyota RAV4 EV vehicles, for an overall total of 100 electric vehicles to residential
consumers. I personally have one General Motors EV1 and one Toyota RAV4 EV that 1 share
with my wife so that we can"drive electric" every day. In addition, we now have twenty electric
vehicles in our City fleet and are being offered lease extensions on these electric vehicles and
additional electric vehicles as well.

-- Letter of Su ort Pa e 2
1 have received numerous requests from our residential program on how they can go further east
along 1-80 and Highway 50 beyond where there is existing infrastructure. The CFCI application
when implemented would provide the opportunity for our electric vehicle owners to get to the
Lake Tahoe area with their electric vehicles instead of driving their internal combustion vehicles.
Respectfully request approval of the CFCI application to install additional electric vehicle public
charging infrastructure so that we can "drive electric' on even more of our trips therefore
benefiting the air quality in the greater Placer County area as we travel through with our electric
vehicles, charge our vehicles, and spend money in the local communities where we are charging.
Should you have any questions or need further information, please contact me at (707) 449-5424,
