In order to reach the state's 2025 interim goal, Alameda County needs to increase its <br />plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) count from 30,000 today to 80,622 by 2025. A PEV is a <br />vehicle that needs to be plugged into an electricity source in order to charge. Increasing <br />the number of PEVs means the County would need to install approximately 8,000 <br />additional chargers. EBCE wants to help with this transition to PEVs, so they have <br />developed a budget that includes the following focuses: <br />- Research the best places for electric vehicle charging stations. <br />- Locate multi -unit -dwellings in order to find optimal places for public PEV <br />charging. <br />- Implement 250-275 Level 2 Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at public, private, <br />and non-profit sites. Level 2 chargers charge at a faster rate than Level 1 <br />chargers. <br />- Implement 5-10 Direct Current Fast Chargers (can charge PEVs 80% in 20 <br />minutes, also known as Level 3 charging stations). <br />- Incentive programs for PEV switching for workplace fleets, AC Transit, school <br />buses, public, etc. <br />Currently, EBCE expects this program to cost the agency $3M through three <br />consecutive years (2021-2024). EBCE is developing a program proposal for the CEC <br />and hoping they will match EBCE's $3M through three consecutive years. According to <br />EBCE staff, Alameda County is #1 on the CEC's list of areas they are prioritizing for EV <br />charging infrastructure. EBCE's vehicle electrification program also helps cities with <br />GHG emission reductions laid out in their Climate Action Plans. <br />Building Electrification ($600K): <br />This program is designed to foster EBCE jurisdictions' interest in building electrification. <br />Funding will be focused on the following two areas: <br />- Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) Incentives ($300K). HPWHs are extremely <br />efficient and run on electricity. These diminish people's reliance on GHG-emitting <br />sources for water heating. <br />Reach Code Program Stage 2 ($150K). This initiative builds on the reach code <br />program from FY 2019. <br />EBCE will also work with StopWaste to provide building electrification technical <br />assistance and resources, experiment with heat pump rates, and provide induction <br />cooking demonstrations at community events and farmers markets. <br />Page 15 of 20 <br />
