Purpose of Rate Proposal • Address Potential Adoption Barrier caused by “Range Anxiety” — What if I need to charge between home and destination — What if I don’t have access to charging at home or destination • Remedy for “Range Anxiety”: comprehensive network of fast convenient public charging stations (high power DCFC) that is always easily accessible • Challenges ― ― Infrastructure must be in place BEFORE mainstream consumers will adopt v Low initial utilization v Existing Tariff Structures v Difficult business cases Multiple phases likely: v Phase One: Achieving a critical mass of geographic coverage (initial focus) v Phase Two: Responding to “usage hot spots” as driven by increased demand LONG ISLAND 5

A Proposed Solution: An Essential Charging Network • A Two Part Solution — ― • Part One: Development of geographic coverage requirement map v Elimination of “dead zones” v Ensure essential level of charging capability is available v Minimize redundant incentives Part Two: Offer an off-bill rate-incentive that caps overall $/KWH exposure (Set Price) v Incentive paid for defined time period v Prioritize availability of rate-incentive consistent with targeted “coverage map” v Incentive could be location or policy specific (lower incentive offered in load pockets, higher incentive offered in underserved areas) Rate Incentive Program: ― Charging Station utilizes existing tariffs. ― Utility provides an OFF-BILL INCENTIVE that offsets above target on set time period ― Incentive SELF-REGULATING – increased sales lowers average KWH cost closer to Set Price.

How It Works • • Example – for illustration only ― Set point of 40 cents/KWH, provided for a seven year period, after which normal rates apply ― Example: in a given month, normal utility bill is $471 to deliver 550 KWHs: effective cost of electricity is 85. 6 cents/KWH ($471/550 KWH). ― Provide off-bill reimbursement of 45. 6 cents/KWH ($250. 8 paid to customer) ― Amount of incentive naturally customized per location/customer, varies each month depending on actual use Important Details: ― Utility/Industry Collaboration: utility provides an incentive – market builds station and sells to customers ― Incentive provided on first-come/first-served, applications approved consistent with prioritization framework (coverage map) and interconnection queue ― Dedicated meter required, to allow transparent incentive computation ― Eligibility criteria established to maximize public benefit (high power, technical standards, open and equitable access, etc) ― Cost of incentive recovered through rates LONG ISLAND 7
