COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE: DECEMBER 1, 2010
TO: MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: GREG LARSON, TOWN MANAGER
SUBJECT: ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS
AUTHORIZE THE TOWN MANAGER TO SUBMIT A LETTER OF INTENT
TO COULOMB TECHNOLOGIES TO OBTAIN UP TO SIX ELECTRIC
VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS AT NO COST TO THE TOWN.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Town Manager to submit a letter of intent to Coulomb Technologies to obtain up
to six electric vehicle charging stations at no cost to the Town.
BACKGROUND:
The Town of Los Gatos General Plan includes language that provides support for installing
Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations.
Action ENV-14.1 Provide incentives for new and existing commercial and residential projects
that provide parking spaces reserved for electric vehicles (EVs) and have a charging connection.
While the General Plan specifically calls for the provision of EV charging stations associated
with private development, the Town recognizes the need to provide charging stations in Town -
owned parking lots as well, where the charging stations can be made available for visitors,
commuters, residents, and municipal fleet vehicles. A key component for the successful
adoption of EV technology will be the development of a comprehensive charging infrastructure.
Early acquisition and installation of EV charging equipment will demonstrate that Los Gatos is
prepared and ready for the growth in EV market, while at the same time supporting economic
vitality and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This activity is consistent with the
Town's goal of sustainability.

MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
SUBJECT: ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS
DISCUSSION:
Under the Transportation Electrification Initiative administered by the Federal Department of
Energy (D.O.E.), there are government incentives to acquire EV charging station equipment free
of charge through designated authorized distributors. One of these opportunities is available
through a local (Campbell) company, Coulomb Technologies Inc. Coulomb has proven to be an
industry leader in providing EV charging station equipment to municipal governments
throughout Washington, Oregon, and California. Using funding from the D.O.E., Coulomb has
executed agreements with both San Francisco and San Jose to provide this equipment for public
use in municipal parking areas. The Town can enter into a similar agreement with Coulomb,
provided that a Letter of Intent (LOI) is delivered to them prior to the end of the calendar year.
While it is possible that these incentives may be extended beyond 2010, entering into an
agreement prior to the end of the year will assure a funding allocation for the Town. It is also
possible that other government incentives such as those from the Bay Area Quality Management
District (BAAQMD) may be available beyond 2010. These additional incentives may apply to
installation and retrofitting work as well.
In order to qualify and get approval for granted equipment, the Town must commit to the
following conditions:
• Make EV charging stations available for public use.
• Identify the EV charging station location(s) in good faith.
• Submit the LOI as an order to Coulomb before the end of 2010.
Furthermore, installation of the charging stations must occur before September 30, 2011. If
these conditions are met, Coulomb agrees to secure EV charging station units, valued at
approximately $5,000 each, and submit an invoice to the Town for $0.
While the charging stations themselves will be available at no cost, the acquisition of the
equipment represents approximately 50% of the overall project expenses. Coulomb's
representatives will provide a quotation for an extended warranty, support and maintenance costs
associated with the charging stations. The complete installation of the charging stations will also
require providing appropriate electrical service (220 volt, 40 amp) to each of the installation
locations. Staff estimates that this will cost approximately $5,000 per location, depending on
panel upgrades required, trenching, and other site conditions.
It should also be noted that there will be ongoing operational charges and fees associated with
each charging station. Coulomb Technologies will develop a billing rate structure — in
conjunction with Town staff — that will cover not only the cost of electricity but all operational
charges as well.

MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
SUBJECT: ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS
DISCUSSION (cont'd):
EVadvise, a partner of Coulomb Technologies, has performed an assessment of the Town's
parking facilities and has recommended thirteen potential locations for installation. (See
Attachment 1) While all locations are reasonable candidates for an installation, many of these
locations would require electrical panel upgrades well above the $5,000 average and would
commit the Town to making such improvements at a time when it is not clear where the
resources to fund the improvements will come from.
Staff concurs that six of the sites are good candidates for immediate consideration of inclusion in
an initial program because the retrofit and installation work is relatively low and the sites can
accommodate the required timeline. Staff recommends that the Town pursue installations at the
following locations (in approximate priority order):
Tier 1
• Library/Civic Center site — new parking area
• Balzer Field / PPW Corp Yard
• Northside Parking Lot
Tier 2
• Parking Lot 5 — between Elm and Main
• Parking Lot 3 — between Royce and Grays Lane
• Oak Meadow Park
For the Library/Civic Center location, the necessary infrastructure can be included in the current
construction project for approximately $2,000. The remaining five sites will require retrofitting
in the amount of approximately $5,000 per site. The Creekside Sports Park site is also a good
candidate for consideration because, like the Library site, the required infrastructure
improvements can be included in the development project; however, the time requirement
removes this site from further consideration at this time.
The retrofitting costs identified pertain to electrical and trenching work and do not include other
costs such as signage, parking lot reconfiguration, or additional PV solar and other overhead
structures installations.

SUBJECT: ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS
DISCUSSION (cont'd):
In addition to the site selection and assessment, _ EVadvise also makes the following
recommendations to the Town for future consideration:
• In addition to EV parking space signage, it is recommended that the Town install two
signs along Highway 17 to notify EV drivers that Los Gatos is EV "friendly" and offers
public EV charging stations. More signs throughout the town should be considered as
demand increases.
• It is likely that businesses and owners of commercially owned parking spaces will begin
to adopt a similar EV charging station strategy for their parking lots. This should balance
the overall supply/demand, and distribution spread without burdening the Town to offer
more public locations within the next five years.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the Town Council authorize the Town Manager to submit a letter of intent
to Coulomb Technologies to obtain six electric vehicle charging stations at no cost to the Town.
ALTERNATIVES
Besides rejecting the staff recommendation and taking no further action at this time, the Council
may also direct staff to:
1. Withhold submission of the application until late in the month to determine if delaying
this application into 2011 may be possible;
2. Reduce, expand, or exchange proposed sites, with corresponding cost and budget impacts
for the remainder of fiscal year 2010/11 and 2011/12;
3. Limit the Town's participation to a no -cost option - for all equipment, installation,
maintenance, warranty, and electricity, other than the provision of the specified parking
spaces; or
4. Explore private development/private employer opportunities for the installation of
privately funded charging stations.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This is not a project defined under CEQA and no further action is required.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no cost to the Town for submitting the letter of intent or for the acquisition of the six
charging stations. However, the acquisition of these EV charging stations will require that the
Town commit to funding improvements in the amount of approximately $27,000. It is
anticipated the costs for any installation associated with new construction would come from the
appropriate project budget. Additionally, any installation costs associated with downtown
parking lots would come from the Parking Fund. If Council concurs, these funding needs will be
addressed either at the mid -year budget review or as part of the FY 2011/12 budget process.
Operational costs should be negligible if an appropriate rate structure can be developed and there
is adequate usage of the charging stations.

To: Los Gatos Town
The Town of Los Gatos is joining many local, state, federal and international
governments in showing interest in Electric Vehicles (EVs) and EV
Charging Stations, and how they impact and integrate within the community.
On behalf of the Town of Los Gatos and members of its community, this
report was prepared by EVadvise, a Los Gatos based independent EV
Charging Station advisory service. It was completed as a public service and
is intended to assist Todd Capurso, on behalf of Greg Larson and the Town
Council for planning and acquiring EV Charging Stations, and provisioning
the installation and usage for likely parking space locations. The report
serves to expedite the process, and assist the Town in making an informed
decision. The deadline for qualification for free EV charging equipment is
December 2010. The intent is for the Town Council to approve the
acquisition in the next Town Council meeting scheduled for Dec 6`h, 2010.
The following report recommends a plan of action, a list of proposed Los
Gatos EV Charging Station locations, information to implement a Los Gatos
EV Readiness plan, and EV Infrastructure Guide Documentation references
used as best practice for municipal installation procedures. I've also included
a ChargePoint America Grant Application for Town signature execution.

EVadvise — EV Charging Station Authority 1
Introduction
The Town of Los Gatos General Plan includes language that provides
support for installing Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations.
Action ENV-14.1 Provide incentives for new and existing commercial and
residential projects that provide parking spaces reserved for electric vehicles
(EVs) and have a charging connection.
The Town has recognized the need to offer public use of Town owned
parking lots with EV charging stations made available for visitors,
commuters, residents, town employees and future fleets. Opportunities exist,
with the support of the community, to prepare and execute an EV Readiness
Plan. The term "Readiness" is commonly used to refer to available charging
locations, policy and incentives that support and encourages EV usage.
Early acquisition and installation of EV charging equipment between now
and Q3 2011 makes a strong statement to Bay Area communities that Los
Gatos is prepared, and is ready for the growth in EVs, supporting
sustainability, reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, economic vitality,
reduction in doctor and hospital visits, and quieter streets. This activity fully
supports the Towns overarching objectives as a California Leader in
Sustainability.
Summarized Case for Los Gatos Charging Stations
1. Widespread Bay Area EV adoption is imminent, and based on
industry projections, there will be at least ten's of thousands of EVs
being driven in the South Bay in a few short years.
2. For the first time, practical Electric Vehicles such as the Nissan
LEAF, Chevy Volt and many others are beginning to ship this month.
3. Support for EV owners is important for business vitality, quieter
streets, and to keep Los Gatos a preferred destination center.
EVadvise — EV Charging Station Authority 2
4. Los Gatos is an ideal EV Charge destination for commuters and
visitors due to its inherent geographic location as a gateway to and
from the Santa Cruz coastline and the Bay Area Peninsula.
5. Government incentives exist for free EV charging station equipment
presently identified through the D.O.E. sponsored ChargePoint
America Program in partnership with Coulomb Technologies.
6. It is possible that some installation costs can be reimbursed by grants
made through the California Energy Commission (CEC) and
sponsored by Coulomb Technologies.
7. The Town need not incur additional electricity expenses because the
technology allows for user billed electricity.
8. Saratoga and Cupertino have taken action for EV Charge Station
adoption. Los Gatos prefers not to lose business to neighboring towns
if EV drivers need to charge while dining, shopping, working or
commuting.
EV Charging Station Plan
UL approved, Networked Charging Station equipment is available that
solves user billed electricity issues, safety concerns, easily found charging
locations, energy monitoring, and user and Town ongoing support.
Government grants exist in 2010 that may expire in 2011, motivating the
Town to review acquisition this year to save money on implementation and
take advantage of the incentives for free equipment. In order for the Town to
act, it should review a recommended plan, and vote to agendise this plan on
Dec 6`h, for acquisition and charging site locations this year. Additional
consideration may be made for installation, ongoing maintenance, warranty,
ongoing support and service fees, parking space signage and constructions,
and resource requirements.
According to Todd Capurso, he will make an EV charging station
acquisition request to the Town, and attach this report to his formal request
on December 6th at the Town Council meeting.

EV Charging Station Equipment
Acquisition Requirements
Under the Transportation Electrification Initiative administered by the
D.O.E., government incentives exist today for free charging station
equipment sponsored by a local South Bay company Coulomb Technologies
Inc., under the ChargePoint America program. In order to receive EV
charging station equipment, an application request is required and
contractual agreements need to be executed. It is possible that these
EVadvise — EV Charging Station Authority 4
incentives may expire in 2010, or be extended into 2011 and beyond. It is
also possible that other government incentives such as those from the Bay
Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) may be available after
2010. The incentives outcome beyond 2010 is still an unknown however.
In order to qualify and get approval for granted equipment, the Town
must ensure that they will execute on the following stipulations:
1. Decide to make EV Charging Stations available for public use,
2. then stipulate the EV Charging Station locations in good faith,
3. and submit an application consisting of two executable grant
documents to ChargePoint America representatives within the
Coulomb management team in calendar year 2010,
4. agree to install them by the end of Q3 2011
If so, representatives of the ChargePoint America program within Coulomb
management will assess the application, determine the unit allocation
request, and likely respond favorably to approve, secure and ship EV
Charging Station Units (equipment only) for the Town to have installed, a
significant portion of the overall expense.
If approved, the units need to be installed by Q3 2011. Support and
maintenance is included and covered until calendar year 2013. Coulomb's
representatives will quote an extended warranty, support and maintenance
costs beyond 2013 but that can be considered as additional expense in the
2014 budget and can be pushed out until then. Electrical installations can be
quoted through an accredited Coulomb electrical contractor such as R.E.J. or
the town can opt to do it themselves if strongly desired with additional
paperwork waivers approved by Coulomb management.
Additional fees for maintenance beyond 2013, networking support,
warranty and installations are not offered for free under the
ChargePoint America Program and the town will investigate the
additional charges, budget and resource requirements that will be
included in Coulomb's quote.
EVadvise — EV Charging Station Authority
EVadvise estimates that a typical cost of equipment (only) is approx 50-70%
of the total costs of implementation including equipment, installation,
support and warranty for new constructions.
Typical cost of equipment (only) is approx 30-50% of the total costs
including equipment, installation, support and warranty for existing
structures. This is a rough estimate and costs vary depending on trenching,
panel upgrade, and unforeseen retrofitting problems. Additional parking
space related costs may include signage, and parking space upgrading, and
additional PV solar and overhead structures implementations.
It is EVadvise's opinion that a "rule of thumb" suggests that by receiving
free charging equipment, the Town would save approximately 40% of the
total costs of implementation across the board, not including additional
parking space improvements and signage. Costs will vary and EVadvise can
not be held responsible for cost overruns.
Additional Installation Grants
It is possible that the California Energy Commission (CEC) or other
agencies will offer additional reimbursement grants to offset some
installation costs of EV Charging Stations. EVadvise will inform the Town
of these cost savings programs as soon as they are better defined. There is no
guarantee that these will exist, or that the Town will qualify for installation
cost grants, but it is likely there may be additional ways the Town can cover
its installations costs through extended government grants. This program
may be offered very soon, and thus the town may consider the resource
requirements for these grant requests if deadlines are imposed for this year.

Proposed Site Locations
This is a list of proposed EV charging Station parking space locations to
assist the Town as part of Coulomb's DOE requirement for qualification. It
is intended to get things moving. In addition to the sites listed, the Town
may take its own views that may support or contradict these proposed
locations.
Approach taken:
According to expert consultant Jim Helmer of Lightmoves, Ben Lomond, a
consulting organization that worked closely with EV charging installations
within Santa Cruz County, The Puget Sound Regional Council, Washington
Dept of Commerce, and Monterey County, ideal parking lot locations with
EV chargers should adhere to the following priorities:
1. Selecting high demand/visible locations (especially on the first few)
2. Inexpensively getting electrical supply to provide for Level 2
(240V/30-40A)
3. ADA issues (reach, accessibility, barrier free route, slope of
pavement, etc.)
4. Lighting/Shelter (trying to provide the customer with a good day or
night charging experience in dry or wet weather)
5. Signage regulations - If signage will be posted, ensuring that signs
comply with MUTCD
6. Selecting a site that would benefit Town's fleet as well as General
Public
The proposed mapping below was done in a relatively objective manner by
EVadvise with some input from some Town residents and Todd Capurso
during a feedback session. My aim was to adhere to the above priorities
whenever possible, but also take into account strategically advantageous
locations that would support local commerce. I tried to spread the charging
stations locations out for good coverage, but also chose locations that could
be high visibility. The List includes some initial notes on rationale and
challenges. The list is in no particular order of preference in order to save
time in documenting it, but installation priorities should be placed on those
locations that are designated as (IDEAL). The arrow colors were chosen for
visibility and have no significance.
