DRAFT <br />10 <br />12 <br />Electric Vehicle: the incremental cost differential between an EV and the <br />comparable gasoline vehicle up to $8,260 <br />Level 2, Single Port Station: $3,260 <br />Level 2, Dual Port Station: $6,260 <br />Level 3, Single Connection Standard Station: $13,000 <br />Level 3, Multiple Connection Standard Station: $16,000 <br />Most likely immediate vehicle need: The Police Department has identified one <br />vehicle (non-patrol) that will be up for replacement in 2018 and would like to <br />look into the possibility of purchasing an electric vehicle, as well as a potential <br />EV station for the department. Based on current offerings through RAQC, it is <br />likely that there will be an appropriate grant to provide partial funding at the <br />appropriate time. In addition, vehicles are being designed which would be <br />appropriate for patrol fleet in which the department chief has expressed <br />interest, for example the 2019 Ford Police Responder Hybrid Sedan. <br />In addition, the Facilities Manager has suggested that the City could greatly <br />improve emission output by exploring electric lawn mowing equipment. <br />Currently, several options exist for riding tractor mowers and with <br />performance ratings on par with gas engines, these should not be ignored. <br />Electric riding mowers are generally in the $2500 range ($1000-$1500 more <br />than a gas mower), but grants do exist to offset the price difference. The RAQC <br />grant, for example, pays for 80% of the cost difference between an electric <br />vehicle and a gas vehicle. Benefits to an electric mower would be noise <br />pollution, as well as a significant reduction in GHG emissions. <br />Also, the City Manager's Office is planning to apply for a grant to install an <br />electric vehicle charging station (EVSE) at the rec center in 2018. A plan is <br />being discussed to explore future charging stations at City facilities. <br />Additionally, it is notable that the City has done extensive work to evaluate a <br />compressed natural gas (CNG) station. <br />Perform analysis on vehicle <br />replacements (including road <br />vehicles and riding tractor mowers) <br />on a case-by-case basis, with a <br />preference toward electric and <br />lower emission vehicles, as <br />appropriate for use. <br />Apply for a RAQC grant to install an <br />electric vehicle charging station <br />(EVSE) at the Recreation Center in <br />2018. <br />4 <br />CE-IT1S4: Develop conversion <br />plan for City vehicle fleet to <br />implement new vehicle <br />technologies as they become <br />3 <br />Public Works and the City Manager's Office have performed an analysis of <br />what it would cost to replace current fleet vehicles and have informally agreed <br />on the following assumptions: 1) It is generally desired that standard fleet <br />vehicles should be upgraded to electric, hybrid, and alternative fuel vehicles <br />Formalize conversion plan for City <br />vehicles with new technologies. <br />The City Manager's Office should <br />work in tandem with Public Works <br />DRAFT <br />10 <br />12 <br />
