Re: Level 3 (DC Fast) EV Charging Stations Update (Districts -All)
{city of
Carlsbad
Memo ID# 2025049
This memorandum provides an update to a previous Council Memorandum dated
December 21, 2023, (Attachment A) on the status of the Level 3 (DC Fast) Electric Vehicle (EV)
charging stations located at the fleet maintenance facility at 2480 Impala Drive.
Background
In the Carlsbad Five-Year Strategic Plan (2023-2027), Sustainability & the Natural Environment
goal, a strategic objective is to: Increase citywide electric vehicle charging infrastructure and
transition all passenger fleet vehicle purchases after FY 2022-23 to be electric vehicles, with the
exception of public safety vehicle purchases, which will be electric where feasible.
In keeping with the Strategic Plan objective, staff have been working on increasing citywide
electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. On January 11, 2022, the City Council adopted
Resolution No. 2022-008, authorizing an agreement with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE) to
participate in SDGE's "Power Your Drive for Fleet's Make-Ready Infrastructure Program" (PYD
Program). The Agreement with SDGE provided for the installation of up to 261 DC Fast EV
charging stations at the city's fleet maintenance facility. Additional background information is
provided in Attachment A.
Discussion
This site was activated in January 2024 with a total of two 60-kW ChargePoint CPE250 chargers
available for city fleet vehicle use. The city was the first municipality in the SDGE region that
went live with the DC Fast EV charging stations for municipal fleets in the PYD Program.
1 The previous memorandum dated December 21, 2023, incorrectly stated that the SDGE agreement included up
to 28 EV charging stations. Up to 26 charging stations are approved. Two of the 26 charging stations include two
ports each, which means up to a total of 24 EV charging stations will be installed.

In November 2024, SDGE received a building permit, CBC2024-020, authorizing construction of
the second phase of the project, adding an additional 10 DC Fast EV charging stations.
Construction commenced in March 2025 and on August 27, 2025, the 10 new charging stations
were commissioned and activated, bringing a substantially expanded DC Fast charging capacity
to the Fleet EV Charging Depot location. There are now a total of 12 EV charging stations
available at the fleet site.
Next Steps
The third and final phase of this project is currently working through design with SDGE. Staff
will provide further updates to the City Council in an upcoming staff report requesting
additional authorization and approvals.

Re: Level 3 (DC Fast) Electric Vehicle (EV) C ~ing Stations Update (Districts -All)
This memorandum provides an update to the Council Memorandum dated July 27, 2023, on the
city's Level 3 (DC Fast) Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations (Attachment A).
Background
On January 11, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-008, authorizing an
agreement with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE) to participate in the "Power Your Drive"
program and authorizing granting SDGE an easement at the city's fleet maintenance facility,
located at 2480 Impala Drive, allowing for installation of electrical infrastructure for the first
phase of the program.
Discussion
The Agreement with SDGE established the terms for SDGE to install infrastructure for up to 28 DC
Fast EV charging stations at the city's fleet maintenance facility. Under the terms of the
Agreement, the city is responsible for procuring the charging stations and SDGE installs the
electrical infrastructure needed to deliver power to the stations.
The first phase of the program anticipated the installation of two DC charging stations in 2022. In
June 2022, staff procured the charging stations, but construction of the infrastructure was
delayed as SDGE's procurement of essential high-voltage electrical components took longer than
anticipated.
Construction began in January 2023, and the first phase was completed last week. With
installation and activation of the two active DC Fast EV Charging Stations, shown in
Attachment B, the City of Carlsbad is the first municipality in the SDGE territory to install EV
chargers for municipal fleets under the "Power Your Drive" program, as acknowledged by SDGE
staff.

Next Steps

authorize an amendment to the grant of easement with SDGE to allow for the design, permitting
and construction of the electrical infrastructure necessary to install the next phases of
construction.

Memo ID# 2023076
This memorandum provides an update on the Level 3 {DC Fast) Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging
Stations.
Background
On January 11, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-008, authorizing an
agreement with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE) to participate in the "Power Your Drive"
program. The Agreement with SDGE, which is provided as Attachment A, established the terms
for SDGE to install up to 28 DC Fast EV charging stations at the city's fleet maintenance facility.
After a few minor delays due to the switchgear and permit reviews, the program is once again
underway. The city is responsible for purchase of the chargers.
To support this program and expand the site's capacity of EV chargers, staff intended to purchase
additional DC Fast chargers in accordance with the Agreement and to utilize grant funds or other
incentives to help reduce the costs of these chargers to the extent feasible.
Discussion
Funding
Funding for these chargers was allocated in the fiscal years (FY) 2022-23 and 2023-24 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) budgets at approximately $200,000 per year, for a total CIP
appropriation of $400,000. Due to the delay in construction of the SDGE charging station, staff
has not yet expended any of the approved budget for purchase of the EV chargers.
In February 2023, staff sought the State of California grant funds through the Energy
Infrastructure Incentives for Zero-Emission (EnergllZE) Commercial Vehicles EV Fast Track Year 2
program to purchase enough DC Fast chargers to support fleet operations over the next two
years. Unfortunately, the available grant funds were fully reserved by other entities before staff
completed the application process. The state's grant program was awarded on a first-come, first-
served basis and was 100% subscribed in less than three minutes after the opportunity opened.

Purchasing Opportunity
On July 11, 2023, ChargePoint via its authorized distributor Westside Solutions, Inc. approached
staff with a promotional discount opportunity to acquire additional DC Fast charging stations of
the same make and model as the city's existing chargers that are currently being installed by
SDGE at the fleet maintenance facility. The promotional discount offered a 47% discount from
the already discounted Sourcewell1 contracted pricing, which was used to acquire the city's first
two DC Fast chargers.
The' promotional discount was offered for a very limited time only and required purchase of a
minimum of 10 chargers. Taking advantage of this discount also required expedited approvals
from the Finance Department to complete a request for pur.chase and confirm funding
availability, as shown in Attachment B. The Finance Department approved a purchase order on
July 18,·2023.
The acquisition and installation of these 10 chargers will put the city back on track to meet the
installation schedule consistent with the terms of the Agreement, even accounting for the delays.
Leveraging this discounted pricing provides a substantial benefit to the city in its efforts to
expand EV charging infrastructure as intended and does so at a cost savings of over $244,000
after taxes.
Next Steps
Staff plan to return to the City Council later this year to provide an update on the progress of this
project and to request amendments to the city's SDGE easement to expand the project's scope
to include installation of additional DC Fast EV chargers.
Staff expect the first phase of construction at the fleet maintenance facility site to be completed
by the end of next month, barring any unexpected delays. The uninstalled DC Fast EV chargers
will be stored at the site until the installation schedule with SDGE is finalized.
