Overview

This is a low cost print edition of a government publication. This report describes the results of the installation of 12 Level 2 electric vehicle charging portswith 12 dedicated parking spaces in two campus parking lots at California PolytechnicUniversity State University in San Luis Obispo. The goal of the project was to bring electricvehicle charging infrastructure to the university to increase the use of electric vehicles andthus reduce emissions associated with transportation by increasing workplace and destinationcharging. Usage data were collected from the stations over a 13-month period ending April 30,2016, to determine equivalent emission reductions as well as various vehicle and userstatistics. Specific objectives to increase workplace charging to eight users and destinationcharging to 150 users were set.The installation included 12 electric vehicle charging ports (six dual-charging stations)consisting of four Chargepoint CT4025 8-foot bollard dual charging stations and two CT40236-foot wall-mount dual charging stations. Greenhouse gas emission reductions were based onthe number of electric vehicle miles traveled. The internal combustion engine miles displacedwas determined by the measurement of energy delivered by the electric vehicle chargingstations and the energy use per mile of an average electric vehicle. The estimated greenhousegas emission reductions over the data collection period were more than 30,000 kilograms ofcarbon dioxide equivalent emissions and it is estimated that over the 15-year life of theproject, the reductions will reach 500,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent througheventual displacement of 1.6 million internal combustion engine vehicle miles.By the end of the 13-month data collection period, the number of workplace charging users oncampus has risen to 31 users, and destination charging users have reached 163 users.
