In the San Mateo County Community College District Electric Vehicle Charging Project, Schneider Electric, Inc. partnered with San Mateo County Community College District to bring electric vehicle charging stations to three colleges. The three colleges are Skyline College, located in San Bruno CA., College of San Mateo, located in San Mateo CA., and Cañada College located in Redwood City CA. The project installed three dual port Level 2 charging stations at each college and one single port Level 2 charging station at Skyline College. This totals 19 new Level 2 charging ports across the three campuses, with a minimum of one American Disabilities Act compliant per college.
During a one-year period from January 1, 2014 to December 30, 2014, there were a total of 8,044 accumulated sessions reported at the nine dual-port Level 2 charging stations. During these sessions, there was an accumulated savings of 7,110 gasoline gallon equivalent and an accumulated savings of 23,793 kilograms of greenhouse gases.
Based on a combination of national, state, regional, and local market trends as well as ongoing monitoring and analysis of usage of the charging infrastructure, additional EV infrastructure is planned for the future. San Mateo County Community College District anticipates adding 10 more charging stations available to electric vehicle drivers by the middle of 2016.
