Electric Vehicle Chargers at Libraries
Thursday, July 11
10:00 - 11:30 AM
Are you interested in exploring how to implement a public EV Charging station in your community? Is your library ready to jump at the chance to offer patrons alternative fueling options when they visit?
MLA is pleased to offer a free one-and-a-half-hour educational session on Zoom on Thursday, July 11 at 10:00 AM for anyone interested in, considering, or just wanting to know more about the planning, procurement, and installation
of EV Chargers at Michigan libraries.
This is a high-level overview of the process and benefits of electric vehicle charging infrastructure including financing, infrastructure, maintenance and funding options, hardware/software and power needs, and the return on investment.
This session will also outline a competitive federal grant through the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant (Community Program) that is available through President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to cover 80% of
the installation costs. (Round 2 is now available offering up to $1.3 Billion in funding – Application minimum: $500,000.)
This session is geared to Library directors, trustees, and technical services staff (as well as any municipal partners) who are interested in Future Ready Libraries.
Special Guests
Tom Adamich, EV Awareness Coordinator at Monroe County Community College
Brian Coon, Utility and Incentives Manager at EVBox
Nancy Bellaire, Director at the Monroe County District Library
