_____________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDED ACTION
MOTION TO Approve The Multifamily Ev Carshare Pilot Project Contract Amendment.
OVERVIEW
The City of Hopkins and the City of Hopkins HRA has entered into an agreement with
HOURCAR and Xcel Energy to participate in a pilot project which would install two electric
vehicle charging stations and provide two (2) Evie community carshare vehicles at Dow
Towers. This program is focused on providing low-income, multi-family residential
buildings with access to an electric vehicle at a low cost. On January 3, 2023, the HRA
entered into an agreement for 18 months which is set to expire on July 1, 2024, however
chargers and vehicles have not yet been installed due to several issues including supply
chain challenges.
The City and HOURCAR have agreed to enter into an extension of this agreement until
December 31, 2025, to ensure that the full length of pilot program can occur. Site work
for the chargers has begun, and staff is optimistic that vehicles will be available in summer
2024.
