Leaders for Clean Air (LFCA), a Salt Lake City nonprofit, has received a $20,000 grant from Utah Clean Air Partnership (UCAIR). Working in partnership with Rocky Mountain Power, LFCA says its mission is to improve air quality by encouraging electric vehicle adoption along the Wasatch Front.
“UCAIR, the Utah Clean Air Partnership, strives to make it easier for individuals, businesses and communities to make small changes to improve Utah’s air,” said Kim Frost, UCAIR executive director. “Every small change adds to a collective bigger step toward better health, a better economy and better overall quality of life for all of us. Installing electric vehicle charging equipment is one of the best ways to address air quality by encouraging the transition to electric vehicles. We are pleased to support Leaders for Clean Air to continue to place necessary workplace charging equipment throughout Utah.”
The grant funds will be used in support of LFCA’s workplace charging program. The workplace charging program helps small businesses, local governments, nonprofit organizations and multi-family dwellings obtain electric vehicle chargers (EVCs) at a significantly reduced cost. This is done by first educating the prospecting business on different types of EVCs, saving customers an average of 67 percent. Additionally, LFCA helps customers with incentive procurement, installation recommendations, charger placement and quantity recommendations and anything else the customer needs to streamline the process while making educated decisions.
