Electric vehicle charging stations and surveillance cameras


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

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

Corridor Site Cost of EV Cost of Totals


Charging Units Cameras
SK: Southworth New Harper Park $12,000 $60,000 $72,000
and Ride
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 seemed
more focused on the charging stations so we emphasized that aspect in recent
presentations, but the overall project is still the same.

3. Background:

a. Oil economists and pundits agree that as the worldwide recession recedes, the
basic 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 per
gallon± 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 won’t be on line until late this year or early next
year. By that time, plug-in vehicles from a number of major manufacturers will
be 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 price
rise starts soon. Supporting this timing issue coincides with other EV activity in
the region. Attached are materials about a vanpool vehicle. This illustrates that
there soon will be available commuting vehicles that could be used at park and
rides, and elsewhere, in concert with our regional carpool and vanpools partners.
Individuals who use the Harper park and ride could park at Harper, transfer to
their EV vans which had been stored there overnight, use the vanpool lanes on the
ferry and then vanpool to their Seattle worksites. The return trip would bring the
van 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 neighboring
central Puget Sounds systems have already made high-level commitments.
Receiving these diverted funds at this moment simply helps the agency move into
the 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 EV
charging stations are not installed now, KT cannot be ready when EVs arrive.
Individuals who might be ready to pursue this environmentally friendly
commuting option would then have to wait for the agency to act. Production
models of charging systems are available and we are evaluating them. Attached
also is information about that.

d. This is part of KT’s overall effort to reduce fuel consumption, both within its own
fleets and services and by supporting programs such as park and rides. The rest of
the world, including our regulators and funding sources, is supportive. In
addition, 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 2nd edition of
the Kitsap Sun was critical of these KT projects, please note that the headline
article the same day was about rising unemployment. The missing logical link
may be between the front page and the editorial page.

ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations


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

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

Networked Charging Stations


In the ChargePoint® Network, each local group of charging stations automatically forms a robust self-healing
Radio Frequency (RF) mesh network managed by a single gateway charging station—a version of the
networked charging stations incorporating an embedded CDMA or GSM cellular modem. Coulomb offers two
families of Level II charging stations:
• CT2000 family: Dedicated networked Level II (208/240V @ 32A) charging via the SAE J1772™ connector
standard.
• CT2100 family: Supports simultaneous Level II (208/240V @ 32A) charging via the SAE J1772™ connector
standard and Level I (120V @ 16A) charging via a standard NEMA 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 System


Based on an open, highly secure, standards-based platform the CPNOS is architected to provide the following
functionality for millions of networked charging stations:
• Communication with networked charging stations to provide access control, monitoring, management, and
remote 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).
Open Access to all Drivers
By virtue of being networked, ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations can be configured to be open to all drivers of electric vehicles without the
need for a “subscription”, or a relationship with a local utility, or an owner of that charging station. Drivers can access a ChargePoint Networked
Charging Station by:
• Paying for a single charging session by placing a toll free call to the 24/7 telephone number.
• Becoming a member of the ChargePoint 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 Charging
Station—just as they can roam between cell phone networks.

Networking Capabilities and Benefits Coulomb


ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations provide many advantages over non-networked charging stations:
• Open charging infrastructure to all drivers, without requiring subscriptions. Technologies
• Create a revenue stream to pay for electricity, capital equipment and maintenance.
• Allow drivers to find unoccupied charging stations via Web-enabled cell phones. Coulomb Technologies, Inc.
• Notify drivers by SMS text or email when charging is complete. 1692 Dell Ave.
• Authenticate access to eliminate energy theft. Campbell, CA 95008-6901 USA
• Authorize energizing to improve safety. US toll free: +1-877-370-3802
• Enable remote monitoring and diagnostics for superior quality of service. www.coulombtech.com
• Integrate with the Smart Grid for utility load management with future V2G capabilities. www.mychargepoint.net
• Enable fleet vehicle management.
