Dear Alec,

I understand that on behalf of Plug-In BC, BC Hydro is submitting a proposal to the Natural Resources Canada Electric Vehicle and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Deployment Initiative for a “BC EV Fast Charging Network next phase project” (“Project”). The Project supports a market transformation towards the use of clean energy in the transportation sector by addressing recognized electric vehicle (EV) adoption market barriers such as range anxiety. Light duty vehicles account for 15% of CO2 emissions in British Columbia. Switching to BC’s clean electricity directly contributes to GHG abatement, improves air quality, and creates new business opportunities. The Project will build upon the existing provincial network of 30 DC Fast Chargers, with the addition of 25 – 40 DC Fast Chargers in Phase 2.

[Insert Company Name] is in strong support of the vision, objectives and expected outcomes of the Project, and is interested in being a contributing Partner on the Project. [Insert general information on company, such as overarching vision statements, business areas, size, etc.] [Insert information on company’s interest and activities to date in sustainability or carbon reduction initiatives and / or in installing charging infrastructure. Include statement on company’s perceived role in improving customer access to charging infrastructure, and how the Project supports the company’s vision.]

[Insert company name] is interested in contributing to the Project with cash (and in-kind support) [for example: the costs of 1 or more charging stations at the company site; the company’s in-kind project management, engineering services, and / or marketing services for charging infrastructure at the company’s site]. A minimum of $12,500 per site contribution commitment and the lease or ownership structure that would allow for this equipment to operate on this property for the next 10 years is required.

I understand that the Project is at the proposal stage, and that the Project budget and partner contributions are all subject to final approval of the Project and the signing of a contribution agreement between Canada and BC Hydro under the Electric Vehicle and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Deployment Initiative. [Insert Company Name] looks forward to working with BC Hydro and its other Project partners to further develop the Project and help achieve the Project’s emissions reduction, technology innovation, and economic development outcomes for the duration of the Project.

Best regards,
