AI Overview

Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) is seeking consultant services to develop a comprehensive Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure Joint Action Plan. The project involves two main components: (1) Development of an EV Charging Infrastructure Strategy that includes current-state assessment, forecasted transportation electrification goals, and short- to medium-term tactics through 2025, and (2) Development of Program Implementation Plans for priority programs identified for the next 24 months. Specific responsibilities include: conducting current-state assessment and market barriers analysis across 13 SVCE member communities; reviewing and summarizing EV charging infrastructure plans in similar regions; forecasting growth in vehicle electrification and associated infrastructure needs through 2025; developing EV background documentation for education and level-setting; defining and launching a standing service-area working group; establishing mechanisms for pursuing grant funding and creating a grant clearinghouse; facilitating CALeVIP funding discussions with the California Energy Commission; creating detailed program implementation plans with prioritized near-term programs; and project reporting including presentations to SVCE staff and Board of Directors. The work must address use cases including fleet vehicles (public/private transit, transportation network, city fleets), destination/retail charging, workplace charging (large and small/medium), multi-unit dwellings, and single-family residential. Enabling practices to be addressed include regional coordination, funding support and incentives, education and outreach, building/zoning/parking codes, permitting, planning and land use, electric rates, and vehicle/grid integration. Work should leverage and build off Santa Clara County's 'Driving to Net Zero' project and utilize existing forecasting tools like UC Davis EV Planning toolbox and California Energy Commission's EVI-Pro.
