Do you have announcement. Speaker make sure all Electronic Devices and complete speakers and it should be submitted to the clerk. Board of supervisor agenda thank you, mr. Evans. Supervisor tang, can we have a motion to excuse supervise yee. So moved that will be the order. And mr. Clerk, could you please call item 2 out of order. Item number 2 is hearing to consider appointing one member, term ending february 1, 2017, to the park, recreation and open space advisory committee. rules committee vacant seat 4, succeeding heather fuchs, resigned, must be nominated by the district 4 supervisor and from district 4, for the unexpired portion of a twoyear term ending item number 2 is hearing to consider appointing one member, term ending february 1, 2017, to the park, recreation and open space advisory committee. rules committee vacant seat 4, succeeding heather fuchs, resigned, must be nominated by the district 4 supervisor and from district 4, for the unexpired portion of a twoyear term ending february 1, 2017. Theres 1c and one applicant supervisor tang. Thank you for considering this item which would go through rules committee, but we have an eager appointee who would like to start in december. I would like to invite mrs. Dylan to speak. Thank you for your email. The floor is yours. Hello. Thank you for having me today. My name is Natalie Dylan. Im the native of San Francisco. Born and raised in the mission where mission play ground became my second home. It was there where i formed character, i formed friends and i formed a community. And i was introduced to my first tennis classes and it was through tennis that i got my scholarship of standard. I was able to play for 4 years and study urban studies. My honor species was on the relationship between graffiti and crime in San Francisco. So it was addressing the broken window theory which was has been spoken about in qualitative measures in new york and chicago, but much of the research has hasnt been conducted here in San Francisco. So back to kind of pro sack. I think parks and open spaces have always been a had a special place in my heart, particularly because of my child and how kind of intra gal mission play ground was for my development. And secondly, as someone who has studied urban studies in urban development cities, i think open spaces is a powerful mean if build community at great and enormous scale. Thats one of the benefits in San Francisco is for us to be concentrated in one place, and to really build community, so i hope you accept my candancy any members who would like to testify on item number 2. Seeing none. Close item 2. Thank you ms. Tang. I think youre going to be a wonderful asset to this committee. I would like to move forward Natalie Dylan to this seat. Without objection, well forward item number 2 without recommendation to the full board which would be considered on the 29th. Mr. Clerk, could you read item number one, please. Speaker item number one is tanghearing on the citys electric vehicle fleet, to determine what would be required for the city to commit to procuring 100 of its lightduty fleet as electric vehicles by 2020, and how to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles for our medium and heavyduty fleets; and requesting the city administrator, the General Services agency, the department of the environment, the mayors office, and the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission to report. Supervisor tang has brought this hearing to us. Supervisor tang. Thank you so much. And a colleague, as you probably know i rarely bring forth hearings to the board of supervisors, but i do so when i feel an issue is morning and one that our city should take a leadership role on. Today we have a hearing before us where well hear from sf environment and City Administrators Office and representatives from puc and our Public Works Department to talk about how it is that we can collectively achieve our goals in reducing Greenhouse Gas admissions and to moving our own internal city freak towards a greener fleet. And this interest really sums from my personal interest in pursuing the ability to drive an electric vehicle myself, but live nothing a multi unit building, its difficult. After working on this initiative with our city, i really do hope that we can expand how it is that San Francisco as a whole and our private market can adopt other markets to encourage the use of electric vehicles or other improved technologies so we can collectively achieve our client goals. With that, ill have more to say and ask later during the presentation. Let get started. Im going to call up jesse for our sf environment. Good morning. Good morning. Is this presentation loaded . Thanks. Terrific. All right. Today, myself and the City Administrators Office are going to give you an overview of local, state, and federal policies that apply to electric vehicles across the country. Al turn tifsh vehicles and charges general 101, what are we talking about when discussing electric vehicles, general adMission Vehicles progress we have made through this last year around electric vehicles, both within our Fleet Operations and city wide. City Administrator Office is going to give you an overview of the current city fleet. Fleet initiative and then discuss next steps around the question that supervise tang has asked regarding our municipal procurement. This represents 40 of the citys Greenhouse Gas admissions. Today there are over 400,000 vehicles registered in San Francisco, and more than 100,000 inbound vehicles via commuters. Transportation is a key strategy that will help San Francisco meet its Greenhouse Gas reduction goals, and stick with our city wide Renewable Energy goals which of course in 2008 was established via the board of supervisors to have 100 Renewable EnergyElectricity Supply by 2030. Just a reminder our other municipalities are theyre delivering 100 Greenhouse Gas free electricity to the vehicles we have. Any expansion of electric vehicles we have in the fleet is 100 reduction in Greenhouse Gas admissions from that component of our foot print, and in 2015 mayor lee signed a west coast mayors Fleet Initiative that established a 10 procurement goal annually for electric vehicles in our municipal fleet. Locally the legislation that implements this is 10 this applies to fleet vehicles that are 800 bounds and less so these are light duty sedan and trucks. This is is safety vehicles like police, pursuit and fire. As well as some exemptions to enter prize. They have that includes fleet management, Vehicle Selection, with some support from sf environment. And really what the City Administrators Office is achieving through hacto is mandatory fleet reduction fleet requirements so theyre exercising the fleet and how to use fleet vehicles appropriately and how to size the vehicles so they meet the needs of the different departments. And also to select vehicles via a Vehicle Selection list that are the highesty the highest efficiency. Its aligned with the greenhouse goals around fleet operation, which is a 4 reduction in Greenhouse Gas admissions by the end of fiscal year 2017 and a reduction by end of fiscal year 2021. Sf environment within hacto has alternative field Vehicle Infrastructure and ill talk about what were doing on that in a few minutes. But this includes looking at how we expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure throughout city to we apply for grants from the state federal government, and foundations which ill discuss as well. A quick review of california policy that applies to electric vehicles. In 2012, Governor Brown established an executive order that mandated 1. 5 million zero Mission Vehicles that are on the roads by 2025. When we talk about zero Mission Vehicles from the states perspective, this includes plug in hybrid electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles and fossil vehicles. S it established a 50 renewable portfolio goal to ensuring inveters and utility was delivering 50 of their electricity portfolios throughout the state which is sinner jess tick of the state with the 1. 5 million zero Mission Vehicles and we need another outlet for that Renewable Energy generation. Besides the built environment and that is they lek tri cajun of transportation. Just this month, state of california also issued the zero admission plan which established a new procurement goal for state vehicles so theyll be working to ensure that 50 of the states annual light duty procurement is zero Mission Vehicles by 2025. And then the federal government, they have their procurement goals which were established last year which requires 20 of the federal fleet to acquire electric vehicles by 2020, and their procurement goal of 50 electric vehicles by 2025. When we talk about zero Mission Vehicles just quickly, battery electric vehicles only runon a charge that is electric. This is a fully plug in vehicle that has a battery on board to store that energy. Plug in hybrid electric vehicles use an electric motor for short range trips, and then after that charge has run out, there is a hybrid gasoline engine that kicks in for the extended range. And Hydrogen Electric vehicles are electric vehicles that use hydrogen as the fuel to power an electric engine through fuel cells. Primarily what were discuss is the plug in and hybrid vehicles which are plug in electric vehicles. What were not discussing is cng and hybrid simply because they dont fall under the definition of zero Mission Vehicles from the state of california. So what is the range of some of these vehicles, battery electric vehicles we see that full electric capacity having range from anywhere to 80 miles to 115 miles currently on a charge. There are some possible options here that could be integrated into municipal procurement including the ford focus, kia, the nissan lease which is what we have and smarty remembering trick drive vehicles and you can see the varying range of these cars, plug in hybrid electric vehicles. They have a shorter range on the fully electric component of their power system with extended range, hybrid engine that can be in access of 30mile and were familiar with the different hybrids that exist. Coming soon and not when i mean soon i mean next month are the long range electric vehicles which are battery electric vehicles that have a higher range than the electric vehicles we have seen on the market to date. This includes the chevy bolt which yesterday was named motor trend car of the year. This will be a 30,000 vehicle that gets over 200 miles of range. We have the tesla model three which gets 200 miles of range with a sim particular price range that has and then the Hydrogen Fuel vehicles, we do have the Hydrogen Fuelling station near ssfo and a potential for pro hydrogen stations to open in San Francisco in the next couple of years via a couple of energy grants that are pending decision. There are fuel electric vehicles including the honda tusan and the honda clarity. The San Francisco bay area is already a leader in electric vehicle adoption. And this is consist at that point with california is one of the Worlds Largest mark hes for light duty zero Mission Vehicles with plug in electric vehicle ownership exceeded 230,000 vehicles by the end of the summer. Californians drive 40 of all the electric vehicles on the road in the united states. And California Electric Vehicle market represents 1 3 of the worlds easy market. In San Francisco, theres approximately 5,000 electric vehicles registered to residents and businesses. And in some areas of our city, this represents 2 to 3 of the registered vehicle totals in those neighborhoods. So what this image represents is the darker green is where we have higher up take of electric vehicles throughout the city. So this shows how many vehicles are actually registered in these neighborhoods, and how many electric vehicles are registered in those neighborhoods as well. New sells of electric vehicle in San Francisco represent about 4 of those of the sells of vehicles in this city. And in the bay area, we see in communities and the south bay, new sells of electric vehicles representing 20 . So San Francisco and our early adopters of technology and throughout the bay area really are driving the market transportation for electric vehicles. But nationwide, worldwide, electric vehicles still only represent 1 of annual car sells. But this is going to change and its going to change really soon. What this image represents is electric vehicles that are coming to market. I mentioned the chevy bolt which of course is being released in december that will have better range and lower pricing. So in addition to the chevy bolt, we have the tesla which has the lower price point and the nissan lease is going to have over 250 mys miles of range and we have those entering the market who have promised, this week at the la auto show to deploy multiple models of electric vehicles by 2020. So electric vehicle adoption, i cannot be successful without implementing accessible ev charging. Theres three primary types of ev charging bases on use case of the vehicles, so a level one charger is what you think of when you think of a wall socket. This is the lowest cost for charging. This is for charging over night at home or in the case of our that municipal fleet when vehicles are not used after work hours and they can charge all night. Level two charging is common at work places. The chargers that we do have installed through the city of San Francisco are mostly level 2 chargers. A level 2 charge enables you to recharge that battery to gain about 25 miles of range per hour of charge. This is when you think of when you install a 234 vault driver socket if the and the range can level for level 1 and level 2. If we needed to install for example, a run to support a ped stool for level one at a municipal facility, that could require trenching and require labor cost, so we do see that this range of cost could vary based on the municipal facility and the use case of the vehicle, and how we pair a different a specific type of charging to that vehicles use case. And in San Francisco, of course, our cost are generally more expensive than what we see across the country, and these averages that we see here theyre average from a cross the country. We want to ensure moving forward in the analysis we conduct of how much it will cost for us to support municipal vehicles that were really looking at appropriate levels of budget for that charging. With level 2 charging, one of the important components that we also want to look at when assessing municipal facilities and the appropriate types of charging for vehicles is the Electrical Capacity of the building and make sure theres in the electric cal facility. One way for us to manage that is to through manage charging because they can be expensive. Load control strategies, these technologies that enable fleet recharge management through an integrated computerized system can really help accelerate deployment of electric vehicles without requiring those electrical upgrades and they sequence multiple chargers through an Automatic Process so you dont have all the cars charging at one exceeding that building. And also it helps to reduce cost for labor, for fleet, staff to be managing charging of electric vehicles. And reduces those, again, those electrical infrastructure needs. Likely what were not looking at for dc fast charge. Thats going to be applicable in the private sector when meeting the needs of business and Transportation NetworkCompanies Like uber and lift, and how we work with them to electrify their fleet of drivers. City does have one of the highest per capital rates of electric vehicle charging infrastructure vehicles in the bay area. At municipal across about 20 minutes of post facilities we have 217 publicly available charging ports. 111 of these are located at various municipal facilities, mainly concentrated around mta garages and lots, and then there are over 100 at sfo as well. 25 of these charging ports are dedicated to municipal fleet vehicle charging. You can see there in
