CFAT funds will <br /> also dramatically accelerate Orange County's replacement of 12 failing, increasingly incompatible,and <br /> irreparable EATON electric vehicle charging stations with 11 updated single-plug stations and 1 dual-plug <br /> station,This will reinforce Orange County's promotion of electric vehicles by enabling newer electric vehicles to <br /> charge which are blocked by firmware incompatibilities,and renewing faith in the reliability of Orange County's <br /> public charging network. It will also expand upon the network to allow for the County's first plug-in passenger <br /> vehicle to charge so the County can continue to lead by example. Finally,these grant funds will allow Orange <br /> County to purchase a standalone solar canopy EV charging station which will allow Orange County Public <br /> Transportation to operate 3 PHEV Chrysler Pacifica minivans.This will fully-charge the batteries of those vehicles <br /> and enable them to travel a total of 100 miles per day on fully renewable solar energy without connecting to the <br /> grid.This will be a critical demonstration project as the County implements its commitment to transition to <br /> 100%renewable energy by 2050. <br /> Cost share funding will be provided through the County's Energy Bank funds,state tax district funds for transit, <br /> or other applicable non-federal funds. <br /> Orange County is committed to using the Chevy Volt throughout its 2-year lease term and is committed to using <br /> all EVSE for a minimum of 5 years. Orange County will provide all usage data for the minimum three year grant <br /> reporting period. Orange County accepts the responsibility and will meet all relevant state and federal <br /> permitting and purchasing requirements including "Buy America" per Sections 1.3 and 1.4 of the Request for <br /> Proposals. <br /> 5incerely, <br /> Z�7�� <br /> Brennan Bouma <br /> Orange County Sustainability Coordinator <br />
