  • Mitigation Trust Proposal
    PALMmO CLEAN RJELS ~\) COALITION November 2 7, 2017 Kendall R. Buchanan Deputy Director, Division of Market and Consumer Services South Carolina Department of Insurance 1201 Main Street, Suite 1000 Columbia, SC 29201 R£: SC Environmental Mitigation Trust- VW Settlement Agreement Dear Ms. Buchanan: We are writing on behalf of the Palmetto Clean Fuels Coalition (PCF), administered by the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff- Energy Office (Energy Office). Our purpose in writing is to urge the Department of Insurance, in its capacity as lead agency for the South Carolina portion of the Volkswagen (VW) settlement agreement, to allocate the full15% allowable by the settlement for light-duty zero­ emission vehicle supply equipment. As a practical matter in South Carolina, this allocation would go toward electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. PCF is South Carolina's designated US Department of Energy Clean Cities coalition.1 PCF is a voluntary partnership of alternative fuel manufacturers, distributors, and supporters who collectively work together to increase the adoption of alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies. PCF strives to help public and private entities- as well as individuals- lower fuel costs, improve air quality, and reduce petroleum consumption. PCF held discussions with owners of EVs, electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), or charging stations; performed assessments of various alternative fueling stations throughout the State; and consulted with officials at the state and local levels. This work revealed several challenges impeding the development of the EV market in South Carolina - with a lack of charging stations being one such barrier. Therefore, PCF developed a Plug in SC plan both to prepare South Carolina for future EV growth and to recommend strategically targeted charging station deployment sites.
