<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT size=4>Hi Erin,<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p><FONT size=4> </FONT></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT size=4>I've tried to answer the questions
as best I can. In any case, please feel free to ask me further
questions or give my name to others.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p><FONT size=4> </FONT></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p><FONT size=4> </FONT></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT size=4>1. How much does a charging station
cost?</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><FONT size=4>The units at Main
Library are part of a federal grant; the City was allocated $2,500 per unit and
covered any costs above that per unit cost. The Blink units are part of a large
scale DOE grant to gauge charging behavior and other aspects related to
EV’s.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><o:p><FONT
size=4></FONT></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT size=4>2. How often are they being used?</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><FONT size=4>I don’t have hard
data but can get it. We have noted a significant uptick in usage of City-owned
units downtown during 2011 with the introduction of new EV’s, most notably the
Nissan Leaf.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><o:p><FONT
size=4></FONT></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT size=4>3. Are there "peak times" that they're being
used?</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><FONT size=4>It’s important to
note that ‘fueling’ with electricity is very different, since primary fueling
happens at home, whereas with gasoline it happens away from home. The units
there are likely to be used to top off or supplement the home charging while
folks are away from home, extending their range. They also may be used by
drivers visiting Hillsboro or passing by on Hwy 26, in need of extra
charge.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><o:p><FONT
size=4></FONT></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT size=4>4. Are there any safety/liability
issues?</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><FONT size=4>There will be some
getting used to chargers on sidewalks and in parking lots. The charger cord
is a tripping hazard. The electricity is not a significant hazard since the
units are UL listed and contain safety shut off devices.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><o:p><FONT
size=4></FONT></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT size=4>5. Pros/cons with parking and this is not my
job sort of things?</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><FONT size=4>There will probably
be some issues that arise as more EV’s are on the road. On city right of
way (ROW), we have the ability to adapt the parking restrictions in EV spaces to
the demand for both EV and non-EV parking. We have not seen problems along
these lines. Also, the EV community are working through these types of
issues by necessity on their own.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><o:p><FONT
size=4></FONT></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT size=4>6. Are the costs paid by the user or by tax
dollars?</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><FONT size=4>Costs for
installation of the units in City ROW have been paid by public entities;
additional installations by the EV Project grant (DOE) are being done in private
ROW. Fueling is currently paid by taxpayer, though it is nominal, but
charger owners will soon implement point of service payment so it will be on the
user.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><o:p><FONT
size=4></FONT></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT size=4>7. ... Or by a vendor (in a sort of gas
station role) who pays a fee to the library?</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><FONT size=4>There is no fee paid
to the Library or City generally. There is a benefit to the host agency,
attracting EV drivers to the site/area.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><o:p><FONT
size=4></FONT></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT size=4>8. Does it work for non-car
vehicles?</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><FONT size=4>If a vehicle is
capable of L2 (240v) charging and has a J-1772 adaptor, it will work. The
City Coulomb units downtown are also capable of L1 (110) charging, which is
useful for bicycles and other vehicles.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><o:p><FONT
