Adoption of a Resolution Amending the City Fee Schedule to Include Fees for Electric Vehicle Charging
a. Resolution No. 1573: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Redmond, Washington, Adopting a Fee Structure for City-Owned, Publicly Available, Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The City of Redmond has offered free public electric vehicle (EV) charging at City Hall and the Municipal Operations Center (MOC) since 2010. The City is proposing to adopt a fee structure that would increase the availability of the chargers to more community members, reduce long dwell times (about 35% of all charging sessions), and reduce customer service demands on city staff.
To address these goals, staff recommends Council adopt a resolution amending the City fee schedule to include a fee of $0.21 per kilowatt hour (kWh) for City-owned public EV charging. This fee is consistent with industry standards and other municipalities in the region and is below the local market rate of $0.32/kWh. An average three-hour charging session is estimated to cost the user about $4.15 and would result in approximately 60 miles of additional range for an average EV.
