Outputs of the model will include the <br /> following: <br /> • Recommended zero emission technologies (battery MOM <br /> electric, plug-in hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles) <br /> • Recommended EV replacement makes and models . <br /> • Total cost of ownership (TCO), including the upfront <br /> and lifecycle vehicle costs <br /> • Identification of vehicle types that are least viable for <br /> conversionVIP <br /> _ —� <br /> • Recommended replacement years <br /> • A fleetwide phased vehicle replacement schedule <br /> • Estimated GHG emissions reductions from EV <br /> replacements <br /> • Recommended charger types (e.g., Level 2, DCFC) <br /> When determining the recommended vehicle replacement schedule, we typically start with simple cost- <br /> effective replacements while also staying mindful of the complexity and difficulty associated with replacing <br /> certain use cases due to insufficient alternatives, operational challenges, unreliable technology, safety, <br /> excessive costs, or other identified reasons. For vehicles without currently available EV replacements, the <br /> ICF team will provide insights on the potential future availability as well as detailed descriptions of why no <br /> recommendation is provided in this project. Additionally, for vehicles where an EV replacement is not <br /> recommended due to either excessive cost or lack of technology availability, the ICF team will provide <br /> recommendations for other alternative vehicles and fuels as a replacement phase. This recommendation <br /> will take into account the availability of alternative vehicles and fuels in the Hillsborough area, considering <br /> the operational needs and siting of that vehicle. <br /> Suitability and Operations: In working with the County to find ZEV options which can replace all of the <br /> vehicles in the fleet, ICF employs a collaborative suitability assessment process to identify appropriate <br /> vehicle models which can meet the existing County operations. Using the proprietary EV Model Library in <br /> PowerGuide Analytics, ICF first filters by vehicle options which meet the existing vehicle specifications <br /> CONFIDENTIAL 18 <br />
