Peter Nelson and Catherine Wyffels from the City's Sustainability Department provided a
presentation regarding Salt Lake City's electrified transportation initiatives. They explained how
their team is interested in getting business owners' perspectives on Electric Vehicles (EV) and
EV charging stations and need help in identifying opportunities for the City to support businesses
in the future transition to electric vehicles.
Mr. Piccoli stated that the main concern is the cost, not solely on the EV charging station, but
also having to retrofit or move power to the infrastructure. Ms. Wyffels agreed and said that

percentage of the utility upgrades.

charging station. He added that electric bikes are out selling electric vehicles and if they should
have infrastructure for that.

uses it. He also has a neighbor that will park there and use their charging station but the

EV station.
