The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (Carl Moyer Program) and Local AB 923 incentive programs have been highly successful for many years in reducing air pollution in Tehama County. The agreement with Tehama County Department of Agriculture will provide funding to install a publicly accessible Solar EV ARC 2020 electric vehicle charging station along with two years of maintenance coverage.
The total cost of the charging station is $73,850.62 because this station would be publicly accessible and powered by its on board solar panels the project would be eligible for the maximum funding amount of 75% from the Moyer program. The Air Pollution Control District would cover the remaining 25% from its AB 2766 funds.
