This Localized Health Impacts Report describes the potential health impacts to communities from projects seeking California Energy Commission (CEC) funding under Grant Solicitation GFO-22-610. This grant initiative seeks to:
Demonstrate replicable and scalable business and technology models to deploy Level 2 electric vehicle chargers.
Improve public awareness of and confidence in Level 2 charging access through high-density, high-visibility installations.
Provide Level 2 charging access in disadvantaged and/or low-income communities.
Provide reliable and readily accessible chargers.
Under California Code of Regulations Title 13, Section 2343, this report is available for public comment for 30 days before projects can be approved at a publicly noticed business meeting.
CEC staff has proposed five projects for Clean Transportation Program grant funding awards under Solicitation GFO-22-610. Each of these projects has several locations. Based on project site information provided by the awardees, three of the seven communities where these projects are located are considered high-risk communities. Staff does not anticipate a net increase in the pollution burden for the communities where these projects are located.
