  of CE
• And, have taken steps to resolve this situation
  by hiring external resources.

  so the committee can focus on gathering and
  editing content.

  new process and timely. We expect to continue
  in this manner.

EV Infrastructure Update

Infrastructure Status

• EV Charging infrastructure is alive and well.
• Much progress in Northern California, especially.
• A little progress in Southern California, and
  more is expected.
• Georgia infrastructure will be dismantled later
  this year, however. Arizona is dormant.
• Funds from auto manufacturers are history.
• Funds from air districts are drying up.
• Funds from utilities are also drying up, although
  we have recently received some funding from
  Roseville Electric and from SMUD (Sacramento
  Municipal Utility District).
• Its up to EV drivers now to support the
  infrastructure!!

23
Infrastructure Donations

• See http//eaaev.org/eaadonations.html. We have
  received quite a few donations from this source.
  We need more!
• The EAA received a grant for about 3000 for
  charging infrastructure in the San Jose area from
  a members employer. The member did the legwork
  to get the grant. We need to seek out more of
  these types of grants.
• The EAA received a donation of 48,000 for
  charging infrastructure support from an anonymous
  EAA member! This was restricted to
  infrastructure in two Northern California
  counties, to make trips to Tahoe and Reno
  possible.

24
Charging Information

• www.evchargernews.com is not an official EAA
  effort, but we welcome input from all EV drivers.
  Gil Dawson of Los Angeles and I maintain this
  site.
• Theres an emergency charging list for
  residential locations where drivers have listed
  availability to help each other out. Its part
  of www.evchargernews.com .
• The EAA board encourages each chapter to create
  its own emergency charging list, respecting
  privacy and members wishes.
