Leaders for Clean Air Receives UCAIR Grant to Help Utah Workplaces Install EV Chargers

UCAIR Installation Assistance Program furthers LFCA’s initiative to
place more electric vehicle charging stations by offsetting the cost of
the installation

SALT LAKE CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#EV—Leaders
for Clean Air (LFCA), a Salt Lake City non-profit dedicated to
improving air quality by encouraging electric vehicle adoption along the
Wasatch Front, today announced the award of a $20,000 grant from the Utah
Clean Air Partnership: UCAIR. The grant funds will go toward LFCA’s
support of the UCAIR Installation Assistance Program, which provides
credits to help small businesses, local governments, and non-profit
organizations install workplace electric vehicle chargers.

“We greatly appreciate UCAIR’s continued partnership,” said LFCA
founding board member and Packsize CEO Hanko Kiessner. “When companies
provide workplace charging, employees receive the benefit of a
zero-emissions commute, and the rest of us breathe a little easier. This
grant gives LFCA the ability to promote workplace charging among small
businesses wanting to go electric but previously unable to do so due to
installation costs.”

Leaders for Clean Air also administrates Rocky Mountain Power’s Rebate
Incentive program, which provides an incentive of up to 75% to eligible
businesses and multifamily developments purchasing charging hardware.
These programs address barriers to electric vehicle adoption in Utah and
accomplish the LFCA goal of advancing zero tailpipe emissions along the
Wasatch Front.

“In our efforts to clean the air, there are no perfect answers but there
are particle solutions,” Executive Director of UCAIR Thom Carter said.
“This grant will continue to assist LFCA as they help empower
organizations to find their unique solutions.”
