He said he believes that someone who can afford an electric vehicle should <br /> not be using county resources to fuel it. <br /> Alan Dorman added that the new charging stations will be smart chargers to prevent unauthorized <br /> users from using them. <br /> Travis Myren agreed to price out the software required to enable billing at public chargers and <br /> provide a return-on-investment analysis. <br /> Alan Dorman clarified that the current feasibility study is focused primarily on staff chargers rather <br /> than public chargers, but that the analysis Commissioner McKee requested could be added. <br /> Vice-Chair Fowler raised the related climate benefit consideration. <br /> Commissioner Bedford noted that some installation funding for public chargers had previously <br /> come from state dollars that may no longer be available. <br />
