$170,000 grant for rural park-and-ride lots

1. The $170,000 expenditure that the KT Board approved last month on these projects issplit between three rural park-and-ride lots as follows:

Corridor Site Cost of EVCharging Units

Cost of Cameras

Totals

SK: Southworth New Harper Park and Ride

$12,000 $60,000 $72,000

NK: Kingston Georges Corner $36,000 $36,000 $72,000

NK: Kingston Bayside Church $26,000 0 $26,000

TOTAL $74,000 $96,000 $170,000

2. Nothing about the distribution of these funds, either between activities or between sites,has changed since the proposal was first developed. Comments and questions seemedmore focused on the charging stations so we emphasized that aspect in recentpresentations, but the overall project is still the same.

3. Background:

a. Oil economists and pundits agree that as the worldwide recession recedes, thebasic imbalance between oil supply and oil demand; more demand than supply,will reassert itself and fuel prices will reach to and beyond the highs of $4.00 pergallon of 2007. This will cause sales of plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles(EVs) to again climb.

b. The schedule of this project, (between final funding delays and construction time)means that these charging units wont be on line until late this year or early nextyear. By that time, plug-in vehicles from a number of major manufacturers willbe available. Since commute trips are a first-priority use for household vehicles,we think our timing is excellent, rather than premature, especially if the fuel pricerise starts soon. Supporting this timing issue coincides with other EV activity inthe region. Attached are materials about a vanpool vehicle. This illustrates thatthere soon will be available commuting vehicles that could be used at park andrides, and elsewhere, in concert with our regional carpool and vanpools partners.Individuals who use the Harper park and ride could park at Harper, transfer totheir EV vans which had been stored there overnight, use the vanpool lanes on theferry and then vanpool to their Seattle worksites. The return trip would bring thevan back to the Harper park and ride for overnight charging. This is a very

reasonable near-term scenario with a type of vehicle to which our neighboringcentral Puget Sounds systems have already made high-level commitments.Receiving these diverted funds at this moment simply helps the agency move intothe program in a timely manner rather than having to play catch-up.

c.

This is a great example of "Which comes first; the chicken or the egg?" If EVcharging stations are not installed now, KT cannot be ready when EVs arrive.Individuals who might be ready to pursue this environmentally friendlycommuting option would then have to wait for the agency to act. Productionmodels of charging systems are available and we are evaluating them. Attached also is information about that.

d. This is part of KTs overall effort to reduce fuel consumption, both within its ownfleets and services and by supporting programs such as park and rides. The rest of the world, including our regulators and funding sources, is supportive. Inaddition, there is a new state requirement that charging stations in all park and

rides have state funding.e. This is about jobs. KT will use firms from its small-works roster, which is mostly

comprised of local companies. Although the editorial in the March 2 nd edition of the Kitsap Sun was critical of these KT projects, please note that the headlinearticle the same day was about rising unemployment. The missing logical link may be between the front page and the editorial page.

ChargePoint Networked Charging StationsCT2000 AND CT2100 FAMILIES

The CT2000 and CT2100 families of ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations, manufactured by CoulombTechnologies, are the most advanced, feature-rich networked charging stations available in the NorthAmerican market. Combined with the ChargePoint Network Operating System (CPNOS), the ChargePointNetworked Charging Stations complete a smart charging infrastructure for plug-in electric vehicles called theChargePoint Network.

ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations perform bi-directional energy metering via an embeddedutility-grade electronic meter. The ability to precisely measure and report electricity use enables asustainable, flexible business model that meets the needs of drivers, corporations, fleet operators, utilitycompanies and municipalities. This revenue generating business model includes flexible driver paymentmethods like free charging, pay-per-use, by subscription, and by kWh (where allowed).

Networked Charging StationsIn the ChargePoint Network, each local group of charging stations automatically forms a robust self-healingRadio Frequency (RF) mesh network managed by a single gateway charging stationa version of thenetworked charging stations incorporating an embedded CDMA or GSM cellular modem. Coulomb offers twofamilies of Level II charging stations:

CT2000 family: Dedicated networked Level II (208/240V @ 32A) charging via the SAE J1772 connectorstandard.

CT2100 family: Supports simultaneous Level II (208/240V @ 32A) charging via the SAE J1772 connectorstandard and Level I (120V @ 16A) charging via a standard NEM A 5-20R outlet.

Up to 127 charging stations can communicate to and be managed by a single gateway charging station, which,in turn, uses the local cellular network to communicate with the CPNOS.

ChargePoint Network Operating SystemBased on an open, highly secure, standards-based platform the CPNOS is architected to provide the followingfunctionality for millions of networked charging stations:

Communication with networked charging stations to provide access control, monitoring, management, andremote upgrades of individual stations.

Runs on secure third-party hosted servers. Supports multiple Web-based applications that provide a rich set of features and functions for drivers,

municipalities, corporations, installers, fleet operators and utility companies. Built on a scalable, industry standard platform: Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP).

Fueling the Electric Transportation Industry by Coulomb Technologies

Open Access to all DriversBy virtue of being networked, ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations can be configured to be open to all drivers of electric vehicles without theneed for a subscription, or a relationship with a local utility, or an owner of that charging station. Drivers can access a ChargePoint NetworkedCharging Station by:

Paying for a single charging session by placing a toll free call to the 24/7 telephone numbe r. Becoming a member of the Charge Point Network by choosing a monthly subscription plan to fit their lifestyle. Paying via a smart (RFID) credit/debit card (future) Paying via standard credit or debit cards at Remote Payment Stations (RPSs) (future).

Because the architecture is open, members of other charging systems will be able to use their smart cards at any ChargePoint Networked ChargingStationjust as they can roam between cell phone networks.

Networking Capabilities and BenefitsChargePoint Networked Charging Stations provide many advantages over non-networked charging stations:

Open charging infrastructure to all drivers, without requiring subscriptions. Create a revenue stream to pay for electricit y, capital equipment and maintenance. Allow drivers to find unoccupied charging stations via Web-enabled cell phones. Notify drivers by SMS text or email when charging is complete. Authenticate access to eliminate energy theft. Authorize energizing to improve safety. Enable remote monitoring and diagnostics for superior quality of service. Integrate with the Smart Grid for utility load management with future V2G capabilities. Enable fleet vehicle management.
