Overview

This is a low cost print edition of a government publication. The purpose of ClipperCreek's Reconnect California Program was to deploy compliant electricvehicle charging stations according to the society of automotive engineers throughoutCalifornia. This Final Project Report assesses the success of the program, estimatesgreenhouse gas reductions, and estimates the increased potential for plug-in vehicleownership due to the expanded network of public charging infrastructure.This $3.5 million project was funded by the California Energy Commission and ClipperCreek toupdate public plug-in vehicle charging infrastructure throughout California without leaving preexisting plug-in vehicle drivers stranded. Over the course of the project, ClipperCreek installed762 Level 2 charging stations and 37 Level 1 charging ports at 313 sites throughout California.ClipperCreek worked with stakeholders, utilities, and clean cities collations to identify theoptimal sites to locate the charging infrastructure. The majority of the infrastructure updatedthrough this program was at legacy sites, meaning that the sites had pre-existing, but out ofdate, plug-in vehicle charging infrastructure. This pre-existing infrastructure made the upgradeinstallation a straight forward process for the legacy sites. During planning, ClipperCreekdiscovered that many legacy site hosts were unwilling to accept the new charging equipmentat their sites; this was one factor that caused the program time frame to be longer thanoriginally planned and for the program to expand to some new sites (sites that did notpreviously have complete charging infrastructure).Overall, the program was successful; ClipperCreek installed more equipment than originallyplanned while staying within budget. Key recommendations include: 1) Have a set list ofwhere installations will take place (agreeable site hosts) with a list of backup sites, 2) Plan abudget for site outreach, education, and project coordination.
