METHODOLOGY:

This bill appropriates funds necessary to the Department of Administrative Services to contract for the installation and maintenance of an adequate number of electric vehicle charging stations for the use of members of the General Court at the state house campus or legislative parking facility and include an integrated payment system.  The Governor is authorized to draw a warrant out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated.  The contract for the installation and/or servicing of the stations shall be subject to the approval by the Governor and Council and shall not exceed a term of 5 years.  Members of the General Court may have the cost of use of the charging station deducted from their mileage payments or by credit card, or other cashless system.  The system may also be available for use by public employees or use by the general public when not in use by the General Court.

 

The Department of Administrative Services Division of Plant and Property Management estimates costs for the Green Street parking lot and assume underground conduit/wiring is run as part of the boiler installation  for the Green Street lot.  Estimates include costs to prep the site for a third party vendor to install and operate chargers.  The vendor would be responsible for upfront cost of 4 chargers, most operating costs and maintenace.  The Green Street lot would require electrical work and signage and/or painting of spaces.  Ongoing operating expenses of the site include electricity cost and WiFi.  As a state-owned lot there would need to be a determination as to how to provide public access to utilize the stations.  Additional electric costs for public use have not been included.  Installation, while technically feasible, would not be viable until FY 2020, to coordinate with the Green Street boiler installation.  Estimated costs are as follows, with the stations owned and operated by the third party vendor:

 

Electrical work including panel, wiring, hardware and labor = $7,100

Signage and paint to mark spaces = $1,200

Total Site Preparation cost = $8,300

 

Cost per kWh = $0.12

kWh per mile = 30/100

Miles charged per year = 15,000 annual miles per car X 1/2 a year X 5/7 days per week =

5,357 miles per charger

Total Cost of Electricity per year = 5,357 X (30/100) X 0.12 X 4 =   $771

Total WiFi Costs per year = $75 x 12 months =   $900

 

The estimated expenditure is $9,971 for FY 2020 ($8,300 + $771 + $900), $1,671 for FY 2021 and $1,671 for FY 2022 ($771 + $900).

 

The Legislative Branch indicates that the fiscal impact of the bill is indeterminable because it cannot estimate the use by the members of the General Court, the public, the frequency of use of these charging stations or the charges for monthly point of service fees.
