Community EV Strategy
The City of Cambridge has a long history of implementing policies and programs
to reduce vehicle ownership, limit single-occupancy vehicle trips, and encourage
use of alternative and more sustainable modes of transportation. However, we
know that automobiles will continue to be part of the mix of modes in the city,
and for those that continue to own and drive a vehicle in Cambridge, electric
vehicles (EVs) will play an important role in reducing both GHG emissions and
local air pollution. Per the Climate Protection Action Committee's Goals and
Objectives for 2020 that were adopted by the City Council in 2015, a key
component of the City's climate protection strategy is to encourage a shift from
internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles, while still reducing
overall vehicle ownership and vehicle miles travelled (VMT).
Given this hierarchy of priorities, it would be beneficial for our programs and
policies to incentivize electric vehicles over internal combustion engine vehicles
without incentivizing new vehicle ownership or new vehicle trips.
The majority of residents in Cambridge do not have dedicated off-street parking
and therefore the availability of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE)
remains a key barrier to the adoption of EVs in Cambridge. This is supported by
a 2015 study commissioned by Eversource that Cambridge participated in,
"Accommodating Garage Orphans".
The Massachusetts state goal is to have 300,000 EVs registered statewide by
2025. Proportional to the State's total automobiles registered in Cambridge, this
equates to a goal of over 4,000 EVs registered in Cambridge by 2025. The exact
number of EVSE, and the most appropriate level and location of EVSE chargers
needed to support that level of EV ownership by Cambridge residents has not
been determined. However, given the high number of homes without access to
off street parking, we believe that the availability of EVSE charging in public
Atta
places and in the public right of way will need to increase to support EV

ownership in Cambridge.

Funds are included in the FY19 operating budget proposal for the Community
Development Department (CDD) to further develop and refine an EV Strategy.
The EV Strategy is expected to include recommendations on the following:
• Options for expanding the network of publicly available EVSE to meet
resident and visitor needs, including a strategy for siting of stations, EVSE
technology most appropriate for different use cases, and public EVSE
ownership models and funding sources.
• Policy mechanisms and incentives the City could consider to support EVSE
on private property.
• High impact outreach activities to support the recommendations in the
EV/EVSE strategy.
.
Plans for monitoring and evaluating strategies that are implemented.
The EV Strategy recommendations will prioritize equitable access to EV
information and EV charging for all Cambridge residents.
While the EV Strategy will provide a long-term plan for supporting EV ownership,
the City continues to pursue short term opportunities. In the FY19 budget
proposal, the City has allocated $100,000 in capital funds for EVSE installation on
municipal property. The funding is expected to cover the hardware and
installation costs for three EVSE stations in municipal parking lots. The City is also
working with Eversource to apply for funds that the utility has available. Through
their "Make Ready" program, Eversource plans to invest $45 milfion in extending
electrical capacity for EVSE statewide. If Cambridge municipal parking lots are
accepted for the Make Ready program funding, it would reduce the City's cost of
installation, freeing up capital funds for additional EVSE installations.
The City also continues to pursue opportunities for EV and EVSE outreach,
beyond providing information on the City's webpage and at general outreach
events. Last year CDD hosted two Ride and Drive events during National Drive
Electric Week. The first was a stand-alone event, and the second was part of
Danehy Park Family Day. CDD is coordinating with staff from other City
departments, EV advocacy groups, the State Department of Energy Resources
(DOER), and Eversource to host Ride and Drive events again this year. We are
Attachment: Awaiting Report 18-13 EV response 5.9.2018 FINAL (CMA 2018 #112 : regarding electric vehicles)
focused on adding Ride and Drive events to existing City events, such as the River
Festival and Danehy Park Family Day, as those events attract a large and diverse
audience.

Municipal Fleet Initiatives
The City's fleet comprises approximately 360 vehicles. These vehicles perform
diverse tasks such as refuse and compost collection; fire-fighting, emergency
medical response; police-related activities; snow plowing; tree watering; park
and street maintenance; food services for public schools; staff work-related
transportation, and other functions. These tasks require a range of vehicle types,
electric vehicles)
weights, and performance capabilities.
In 2010 the City adopted a Green Fleets Policy as a prerequisite for becoming
one of the first Green Communities in Massachusetts. The policy requires all
vehicle purchase requests to be evaluated by an interdepartmental Green Fleets
committee. The guidelines include reducing vehicle and fleet size when
appropriate, using alternative fuel vehicles when feasible and meeting state
Green Community fuel efficiency guidelines for administrative vehicles. The fleet
currently includes close to 40 hybrid and two electric vehicles. In 2017 we
converted a rubbish packer, Human Services shuttle bus and two maintenance
vans to hybrid drive systems. We've submitted a grant proposal to the state to
equip an additional 11 medium and heavy-duty vehicles with similar technology.
It is also worth noting that ali non-Fire department diesel vehicles use B20
biodiesel fuel that has been sourced from restaurant waste oil in the Northeast
region.
Municipal Clean Fleet Plan
The Department of Public Works (DPW) is currently developing a Clean Fleet
Plan to set a 2030 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target and
implementation plan for the municipal fleet. Work to date has included:
• A fleet GHG inventory for 2009 through 2016.
• Business-as-usual and several reduction scenarios for 2030
• Meetings with stakeholder departments to understand operational needs
and introduce GHG-reducing technologies.
As might be expected, 80% of the City's fleet emissions are associated with DPW,
Fire and Police vehicles. The technologies being investigated include converting
or replacing vehicles with hybrid drive systems, installing auxiliary power units

and other anti-idling devices and purchasing plug-in electric vehicles and

understanding of the operational requirements of departments, including

severe storms, space required for on-board cargo and equipment, driver and
mechanic training and infrastructure requirements. For electrification, this would
include identifying electric infrastructure and locations for EV charging stations.
Upcoming work includes:
• Specifying the 2030 emissions reduction target and developing
department-specific implementation plans.
• Refining the analytic model to understand the impacts of factors such as
price changes, energy supply mix and technological and market changes.
Evaluating a buy-electric policy for sedans and SUV's.
We will be working closely with other City departments and anticipate reporting
on our work in FY29.

VICE MAYOR DEVEREUX
COUNCILLOR ZONDERVAN
WHEREAS:
The City of Carbridge has been working to actively promote the use of electric
vehicles among its residents; and
WHEREAS:
Electric vehicles offer significant environmental benefits; and
WHEREAS:
Battery electric cars emit no pollution from the tailpipe, with the only emissions
occurring with the production of the electricity used to charge them; and
WHEREAS:
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles emit no pollution when they are running on the electric
motor, but also have an internal combustion engine for use at specific times; and
WHEREAS:
Electric vehicles emit up to 99% less air pollution and 70% fewer greenhouse gas
emissions than traditional internal combustion engine vehicles; and
WHEREAS:
Electric vehicles are less expensive to maintain than internal combustion engine
vehicles, as they do not require regular oil changes and the cost per mile of electricity
is less than that of gas; and
WHEREAS:
There are significant rebate and incentive programs for battery electric and plug-in
hybrid electric vehicles to assist in making the cost of ownership of a new vehicle
attainable; and
WHEREAS:
The cost of used electric vehicles such as for example the Nissan Leaf is comparable to
the cost of same model year used gasoline powered vehicles and therefore used electric
vehicles are equally affordable as used gasoline powered vehicles to community
members who are looking to buy a used car for commuting to work or for conducting
work; and
WHEREAS:
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts recently set a goal of having 300,000 electric
vehicles on the road by 2025, and municipalities play a role in ensuring that that is
possible; and
WHEREAS:
There remain gaps to ensure that there are accessible charging locations citywide, and
that residents are aware of the benefits and incentives that are available; and
WHEREAS:
Additional charging stations would be helpful in encouraging more electric vehicle
use, including on certain residential streets that are not located near existing charging
stations and where driveways are limited such that users cannot charge their electric
vehicles at home; and
WHEREAS:
Public charging stations function like parking meters, wherein users currently pay a
$1.25 hourly fee to cover the cost of electricity and administrative fees; and
WHEREAS:
A good choice for driving in cities, the use of electric vehicles pairs with the City's
stated goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions; now therefore be it
