Help the Port capture the emerging EV (electric vehicle) market that Tesla will lead when it
delivers 10,000 Model 3 cars to the Puget Sound region in the next 1218 months, tripling the
number ofEVs on the road. Make Sea-Tao airport an EV destination and a transportation hub.

I.   Create a Destination Recharging garage by adding up to 500 new EV charging stations.

2.   Purchase a eet ofautomated EVs as part ofa municipally-owned ride-share network.

sharing company.

containerized cargo. His efforts as VP. and lead labor negotiator helped convince the
Longshoreman's Union to accept this now universal system ofshipping.

Process
I.   By installing up to 500 recharging stations, from Level I fast-charging to Level 3, for
ovemight charging, Port attracts EV drivers who want quick recharge who have come to
pick family and friends, or need a parking spot to recharge while on vacation or business.
Fits perfectly with all the stated environmental goals ofthe Port.

2.   After investing in this garage, purchase a eet ofautomated EVs which could be recharged
in the garage and then sent out during the day as a local transport eet, picking up
passengers and crews from nearby hotels, and Port workers who live in the vicinity of Sea-
Tac airport.

I.  Decrease carbon emissions, control trafc and costs - save $500 a mo. per vehicle

3.   King County Councilmember Claudia Balducci pointed to monies available for such a pilot
program.
