Funding and Conditions
The program is paid for through the sale of clean fuels credits that the utility receives from the Department of Ecology. Besides charging infrastructure, it also supports replacing gasoline or diesel vehicles with electric ones. Recipients include local governments, Tribes, community organizations and businesses. The utility notes that receipt of award funds depends on executing an agreement and meeting contract requirements.
What It Means
Utility-funded grants often favour projects that serve gaps in coverage. For small public or community sites, the EV-AC03201T dual-connector AC station (two Type 2 connectors, OCPP 1.6J, RFID) (two Type 2 connectors, RFID, OCPP 1.6J) and the EV-RHDC30K-L compact DC charger (about 20–30 kW, OCPP 1.6J) cover Level 2 and compact fast charging.
