The standalone solar EVSE witl be available to the <br /> public from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. This will ensure that the on-demand transit vehicles which will occupy <br /> the chargers overnight will have had time to leave for the day and will enable them to recharge at the end <br /> of the day. All other EVSE will be publicly available 24 hours per day. One of the 12 new publicly- <br /> available EVSE plugs will also serve the adjacent reserved parking space for the County's new PHEV <br /> CarShare fleet vehicle. <br /> Project type(replacement of stranded asset OR new installation): This project will replace 12 failing, <br /> increasingly incompatible, and irreparable EATON charging stations all of which are considered to be <br /> stranded assets. Since EATON decided in 2015 to discontinue supporting their EV charging stations, <br /> Orange County was left without the ability to repair them as they failed. Of the original 16 installed on <br /> 2011, 7 stations have already failed and only 4 have been replaced. According to an EATON <br /> representative who worked with us in 2016 in an unsuccessful attempt to upgrade a station's firmware, <br /> these EATON commercial chargers have an expected life of 5 years. That means our remaining 9 <br /> functional stations are already 3 years past their life expectancy. Given that those stations cannot have <br /> their firmware upgraded, they are known to be incompatible with the 2018 Nissan Leaf and potentially <br /> other EV models. For these reasons, these charging stations are considered to be stranded assets. <br /> This project will also install a new standalone solar EVSE with 3 vehicle charging plugs. <br /> Site preparation status (previously completed OR new with no ground disturbing activity): No <br /> ground disturbing activity will be required in the replacement of existing stranded asset EVSE or the <br /> installation of the standalone solar EVSE. Sites for the existing stranded asset EVSE were prepared <br /> previously and the standalone solar EVSE will rest on top of the ground on an anchor pad. <br /> In case of replacement, what was previous project funding source? Original funding for the 12 <br /> EATON EVSE to be replaced in this project was through the Carolina Blue Skies and Green Jobs grant <br /> program, using funding from the US Department of Energy's allocation of the American Recovery and <br /> Reinvestment Act. <br /> Projected kWh to be dispensed annually through these EVSE charging stations: <br /> When functional, Orange County charging stations are used approximately 250-500 times per year and <br /> provide an average of 3,873 kWh each.
