C LI PPER C REEK, INC. <br />INNOVATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR <br />ELECTRIC AND HYBRID VEHICLES <br />11850 Kemper Road Suite #E • Auburn, <br />CA 95603 • (530) 887-1674 <br />• Fax (530) 887-8527 CE) 0 <br />Reconnect Ca Grant Program Fact Sheet <br />The Program - The California Energy Commission (CEC) together with ClipperCreek have funded a program to upgrade existing <br />publicly available EV charging infrastructure to the new SAE J1772 charging standard that has been adopted universally by all the <br />BEV (battery electric vehicle) and PHEV(plug in hybrid electric vehicle) automakers in the US. Together, the CEC and ClipperCreek <br />have funded 100% of this upgrade so that it will be at NO COST TO YOU, the site owner <br />Basic Grant Requirements - To qualify for grant funding under the Reconnect Ca grant program a site must meet the following <br />requirements: <br />1.) Charge site must be accessible to the general public. <br />2.) "Legacy" EV charging infrastructure must be in place at the site. <br />3.) 1 SPI (Small Paddle Inductive) charger must remain in place where SPI chargers are currently installed. <br />4.) Site owner must agree to allow ClipperCreek to collect kWh usage information from the grant funded equipment. <br />5.) The grant funded equipment will be "Smart grid" ready. <br />6.) Site must be approved for funding by ClipperCreek and the CEC. <br />Equipment that will be installed with grant funding - This is a list of the equipment that will be installed with grant funding and <br />corresponding circuit requirements: <br />l.) ClipperCreek CS-40 EVSE <br />a. Input power requirements - 208-240 VAC 40 Amp dedicated branch circuit (this is the same power requirement as <br />existing legacy equipment). <br />2.) ClipperCreek Pedestal (will be installed if required) <br />a. 4' tall cold rolled steel pedestal for mounting the CS-40 - these will be installed at eligible locations where pedestal <br />mounted EVSEs currently exist. <br />3.) Smart grid meter module - This is a module that will be installed inside the CS-40 EVSE, the module will contain a utility <br />grade meter, and will offer demand response control to the local utility. <br />4.) Once the equipment is installed it will be the property of the site owner, however ClipperCreek will reserve the right to collect <br />kWh usage data from the EVSE for a period of up to 2 years after the install. <br />What this Grant covers - This grant program will provide funding for the following: <br />1.) Removal of the obsolete "Legacy" EVSE(s). <br />2.) New J 1772TM compliant EVSE(s) with a "Smart Grid" ready module. <br />3.) Installation of the New J 1772TM compliant EVSE (CS-40) performed by our install partner EVConnect. <br />4.) Installation of the "Smart Grid" ready module. <br />Grant Participation Process - This is a step by step breakdown of the grant from a sites request to participate, to grant funding <br />approval, and through the install and data collection process: <br />1.) The site will fill out a Reconnect Ca grant site identifier form. <br />a. To get the process started an interested site owner will need to fill out a "Site Identifier Form" for each site they would <br />like considered for upgrade through this program. <br />2.) ClipperCreek will qualify and approve or deny the site for grant funding. If the site is approved we move to step 3. <br />3.) ClipperCreek will provide the site owner with a "Reconnect CA Site Agreement" document; the site owner will need to sign this <br />document. <br />a. This form is what gives ClipperCreek access to the site and permission to perform the upgrades and return to the site to <br />collect kWh usage data from the charging stations Smart grid ready module. <br />4.) The site will be entered into the install scheduling queue. <br />a. Once the site has returned the Reconnect Ca Site Agreement document the site will be entered into our install scheduling <br />queue. <br />b. The turn around time from entering the schedule queue to having an install scheduled has been 2-4 weeks depending on <br />scheduling availability. <br />5.) The install will be preformed by our install partners for this grant program EVConnect. <br />6.) A ClipperCreek Technician will return to the site to install a Smart Grid Module in early 2012. <br />7.) A ClipperCreek Technician will return to collect kWh usage data in late 2012. <br />9/8/2011, WPB, Reconnect Ca Grant Program Fact Sheet (3).docx <br />25F-11
