The U.S. Department of the Air Force (DAF) has prepared a Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) for the implementation of the Electric Vehicle Charge Facilities (EVCF) Program at multiple Air Force bases (AFBs).
The purpose of the Proposed Action is to provide AFBs with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to enable on-base EV usage and charging for government-owned vehicles. The Proposed Action is needed to increase the number of EV charging stations on AFBs for creating the necessary infrastructure to expand EV usage, which would minimize carbon emissions in the long-run and help DAF meet White House goals for EV usage under Executive Order (EO) 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, and EO 14057, Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability.
The PEA assesses the potential impacts associated within EVCF Program implementation and provides the DAF meaningful points in agency planning and decision making on the relevant environmental information of the EVCF Program. Once a decision is made to implement at a particular installation, the DAF would conduct follow-on site-specific environmental analysis tiering from the PEA document using the Checklist in Appendix A of the PEA.
