Information
Referral History:

The Sustainability Committee has received reports from the Department of Public Works at meetings on November 5, 2018, January 28, 2019, August 1, 2019, December 9, 2019, and May 24, 2021. At the May 24, 2021, meeting, the Sustainability Committee requested that Public Works come back to the Committee at its next regular meeting in July with an updated report of EV charging station needs at County facilities and a cost analysis of installing EV chargers at those facilities.

The Committee asked Public Works to create a summary of the total number of hybrid, electric, and internal combustion engine vehicles purchased by each County department over the last two years; an inventory of all the charging stations that exist at County facilities including their type and who can access them; an updated list of which County facilities will need more chargers to successfully electrify the County’s fleet, where the infrastructure would go, and how much it would cost; a status update on the sustainability fund which could potentially fund this work; and an assessment of existing County policies around EV chargers and fleet electrification.

The Board of Supervisors also receives annual reports on the status of the disposition of the County's fleet through the Internal Operations Committee of the Board.

Referral Update:
The attached report responds to the information requested by the Sustainability Committee at its May 24, 2021 meeting.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
RECEIVE UPDATE on Conversion of County Fleet to Electric Vehicles, and PROVIDE DIRECTION.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
As of January 2021, a preliminary estimate for installing 92 potential charging stations at County facilities was $2.3 million. Electric vehicles cost the same or less to purchase, and have lower lifetime costs due to fewer operations and maintenance requirements and lower fuel costs.
