Equipment <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities purchased three electric vehicle charging units as described in the <br /> results section of this final report. The equipment has worked well except for a control board <br /> on the DC Fast Charger that needed to be replaced. It took ChargePoint's service contractor two <br /> months to fix the unit. This was a point of frustration, but since that time, ChargePoint has <br /> contracted with additional service providers and resolved the service issue. Since the unit's <br /> control board was replaced, ERMU has had no issues with the DC Fast Charger or either of the <br /> Level 2 chargers. <br /> Both the Chevy Bolt and Mitsubishi Outlander vehicles have performed well. The decrease in <br /> battery life for the Chevy Bolt will be a big consideration on longer trips in cold months. The <br /> decrease in range for half the year needs to be considered in a cold northern climate. The <br /> Outlander has experienced positive feedback from City staff with the only challenge being in <br /> determining who is responsible for charging it after use. The City has experienced no range <br /> anxiety with the plug-in hybrid and users have found it easy to operate. <br /> Additional Notes <br /> References <br /> Bibliography <br /> 30 <br /> 69 <br />
