This Localized Health Impacts Report describes the potential health impacts to communities from projects seeking California Energy Commission (CEC) funding under competitive grant solicitation GFO-24-607, “Fast and Available Charging for All Californians (FAST) 2.0.” This grant initiative seeks to deploy fast-charging electric vehicle infrastructure for the public. CEC staff has proposed projects for awards under solicitation GFO-24-607, and each of these projects has multiple locations. Based on project site information provided by the awardees, 15 of the 30 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.
