SUBJECT: ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGE STATION SITE HOST AGREEMENT
WITH EV CONNECT FOR THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
In an effort to promote zero emission vehicle usage, Electrify America is investing $2
billion dollars in zero emission vehicle infrastructure, access, and edu cational programs
throughout the United States. EV Connect, a leading provider of electric vehicle
charging solutions, is working with Electrify America and agencies throughout California
to install electric vehicle charging stations. EV Connect has inspected sites in the City
of Arcadia that qualify for funding, and has prepared an agreement that is required to
submit a proposal to Electrify America. The agreement would provide for the funding
and installation of two electric charging station units at th e City Library, Public Works
Service Center, and City Hall. The units feature dual charging ports, which means that
each unit can provide charging for two parked vehicles. A total of four parking spaces
will be assigned for charging electric vehicles at these locations.
It is recommended that the City Council approve, authorize and direct the City Manager
to execute an Electric Vehicle Charge Station Site Host A greement with EV Connect for
the installation and maintenance of electric vehicle charging stations.
BACKGROUND
Electrify America is a business organization whose goal is to promote zero emission
vehicle adoption by offering a convenient electric charging network by 2027. Electrify
America is investing $2 billion dollars in zero emission vehicle infrastructure, access,
and educational programs throughout the United States and has allocated 500 million
dollars to support existing electric vehicle owners in California. Electrify America is
currently implementing the first cycle of their investm ent plan.
Agreement with EV Connect
November 20, 2018
Page 2 of 3
EV Connect, a leading provider of electric vehicle charging solutions for workplace,
fleet, universities, and government facilities, was selected by Electrify America to assist
agencies in Los Angeles County. EV Connect has been working with the City of
Arcadia to submit a proposal to Electrify America for the installation of electric charging
stations at no cost to the City.
DISCUSSION
Through this opportunity, Electrify America will provide funding to install two electric
charging station units at the City of Arcadia Library, Public Works Service Center, and
City Hall. The units feature dual charging ports, which means that each unit can provide
charging for two parked vehicles. A total of four parking spaces will be assigned for
charging electric vehicles at each location. The charging units at the Public Works
Services Center will be utilized by City owned vehicles only. The charging station units
at the Library and City Hall will be available for use by the public at a nominal fee.
All electric charging station units would be maintained by EV Connect until 2026. After
this time, ownership and title of the electric charging stations would pass to the City of
Arcadia. At that time, the City would be responsible for maintenance of the stations and
for providing a platform to continue use of the charging stations. As such, the City could
continue to contract with EV Connect for these services, choose a different vendor, or
remove the stations altogether.
The City will be required to provide and maintain a supply of electric power for the
duration of the term of the agreement. In addition, a 10% transaction fee with a
minimum of $.50 per transaction would be charged and paid to EV Connect. The City of
Arcadia will work with EV Connect to include all costs into the electric charging rate so
that the City does not have any out of pocket expenses.
EV Connect operates a cloud based platform to manage the charging stations and the
drivers that use them. EV Connect does not manufacture any charging stations, but
they have partnerships with the leading charging station manufactures in the industry.
Since Electrify America is currently implementing the first cycle of their investment plan
in California, EV Connect needs to submit a proposal for the City of Arcadia. In order
for Electrify America to accept a proposal, the proposal must contain a signed host
agreement which indicates the City’s commitment to installing the charging stations.
The City has made it clear that the City cannot move forward with the project unless
Electrify America approves and pays for all cost s associated with the project. Electrify
America has included language in the agreement that states that the host agreement is
null and void should Electrify America not cover the full cost of the project.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the
environment. Thus, this matter is exempt under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
Electrify America has allocated $500 million to support the installation of Electric
Charging Stations. Electric charging stations will be installed at the Library, City Hall,
and the Public Works Service Center at no cost to the City. The City will work with EV
Connect to include all costs into the electric charging rate so the City does not have any
out of pocket expenses. Following the transfer of ownership to the City, staff will need
to continue to contract with EV Connect for maintenance services and a cloud based
platform, choose a different vendor to provide these services, or remove the stations
altogether.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve, authorize and direct the City Manager
to execute an Electric Vehicle Charge Station Site Host A greement with EV Connect for
the installation and maintenance of electric vehicle charging stations.
