KINGS COUNTY ELECTRIC VEHICLE READINESS PLAN 2

NEED FOR EVRP Develop an Electric Vehicle Readiness Plan for Kings County to meet anticipated growth and need for PEV infrastructure by: 1. Coordinating implementation and siting of

PEV charging infrastructure for public use

2. Identifying PEV related best practices for

KCAG member agencies, government

entities, private businesses

3. Addressing region-specific challenges:

‐ Kings County is one of the smallest counties in

California.

‐ Significant growth is anticipated by 2030

‐ Large amount of agricultural farmland

makes siting PEV charging infrastructure

complex

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT: PROCESS AND OBJECTS

▪The team engaged stakeholders from

non-profit, military, business,

transportation, and agricultural

organizations.


▪The Stakeholder Engagement process was

executed to:

▫ Understand existing EV conditions within Kings

County

▫ Identify barriers to EV adoption, particularly in the

context of Kings County’s rural communities

▫ Validate technical results with input from

community members and leaders


Rural communities have specific challenges to installing

public charging, including low density and gaps in funding.

Organizations in Kings County have a range of experiences

with EV infrastructure.

Grant and incentive programs have been primary drivers of

EV adoption and charger installation in Kings County.

Many organizations have seen limited requests for charging

infrastructure, but anticipate this can change in the future.

Opportunities in Kings County and the surrounding region

exist for leveraging car share and ride share services to spur

EV adoption.

Acknowledgement that many EV models are currently

available but not financially feasible for many residents.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT FINDINGS REPORT RESULTS

Core barriers to be addressed to accelerate EV adoption in Kings County:

- Upfront costs

- Access to charging

- Range

- Vehicle availability, especially for medium and heavy vehicles

- Driver education and engagement

Community engagement is critical

to developing and implementing

future EV work, particularly for rural

communities.

Continued stakeholder

engagement supports projects

which align with resident needs

and can support equitable EV

infrastructure development

objectives.

External funding sources will

need to be leveraged for Kings

County to meet EV adoption

targets.

BARRIERS EXTERNAL FUNDING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT FINDINGS REPORT RESULTS


Stakeholder Engagement Finding Resulting EVRP Content

Specific barriers to EV adoption include cost, driver education and engagement, EV range, and access to charging

Addressed topics including EV incentives, available vehicle technologies and outlooks, and educational resources.

External funding will be needed for Kings County to meet EV adoption targets

Sections included on public charger funding sources and need to help address this gap.

Community engagement is a critical component, especially for EV infrastructure in rural communities and for addressing equity considerations

Identified ongoing engagement strategies as best practice for developing and implementing initiatives moving foreword

When charging siting, need to ensure modeling accounts for lower density in rural areas

Developed modeling approach to reflect needs of rural communities

BASELINE

CONDITIONS

KINGS COUNTY NEEDS GREATER STATE

SUPPORT TO HIT TARGET


Kings County’s pro-rata CA target is

~22,800 EVs by 2030

– Kings County not on track to hit target

Kings County PEV Adoption is Below State Targets

PEV Adoption Rates Varies by Area Uptake rates in the county varies by

jurisdiction

– Hanford, Lemoore and the county are

around 30% of the California rate

– Corcoran and Avenal are reporting zero

PEVs

11

Income is a key driver of PEV adoption

– Kings County has below average levels of

wealth

– Kings County will require higher levels of

support to achieve state level targets

Insufficient public charging infrastructure

availability a key barrier to uptake

– Kings County and Hanford are at or above

the state level of public charging

infrastructure availability

– Other larger cities are below the state level

Community Segments Needing Public Charging

FORECAST EVSE NEEDED – DEMOGRAPHIC

SEGMENTS


Kings County forecast to hit 60% of state

PEV adoption targets by 2030

– If sufficient incentives and public charging

infrastructure can be deployed

– Without this, Kings County is forecast to

reach 20% of state targets by 2030

A broad spectrum of the Kings County

community will require public charging

infrastructure to adopt an EV

– Key demographics are drivers who don’t

work full-time and/or work locally

PROS/CONS OF CHARGERS


There are three main types of chargers:

– Level 1 – No special equipment needed

– Level 2 – Uses a plug like a clothes dryer

– Level 3 – High-power, commercial-grade charger

Pros and cons of different technologies

vary by charging location, especially as a

function of parking lot size and dwell time

Costs and charging speeds of Level 3

chargers changing rapidly, and expected to

become the most efficient solution in next 5

years

FORECAST EVSE NEEDED BY EVSE

TECHNOLOGY TYPE


Estimated Public EVSE Needed – Level 2

Estimated Public EVSE Needed – DCFC

Forecast of Level 2 chargers needed by

solution type to meet forecast PEV

adoption

– Recommended solutions are split across

residential, business, curbside locations and

parking lots

– Expected lower cost DCFC solutions mean that

no further Level 2 installations will be needed

Forecast of DCFC chargers needed by

solution type to meet forecast PEV

adoption

– Recommended solutions are split equally

between retail and gas station locations

– Retail locations better serve suburban areas,

while the gas station locations better serve rural

areas

BEST PRACTICES


Equal access and reducing barriers for vulnerable

communities is critical for broad PEV adoption.

Funding and technology selection are key

components to achieving this goal.

Stakeholder involvement can align EVCS projects

with community needs.

Regional regulatory frameworks can support long-

term electrification goals.

Ordinances in compliance with AB1236 can

expedite permitting processes for EVCS

installation.

26

KEY FINDINGS


Significantly reduce barriers to electrification by using funding sources and disseminating funding information

Local utilities are increasingly providing rate options to minimize electric costs

KCAG has a number of existing transportation, air quality, and sustainability plans which support electrification.

Currently, PEV adoption forecasted to reach about half of the levels at the state level

Almost half of Kings County drivers will need access to public charging

Environmental air quality benefits include reducing CO2 emissions by over 100 million pounds and NOx emissions by nearly 250 tons by 2030

DCFC stations are effective charger type for installation

27

NEXT STEPS


Develop streamlined

permitting processes

(in accordance with

AB1236)
