Title
Approve: Letter of Support for Tesla’s Colorado Energy Office Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) Plazas Application
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
Tesla has requested a support letter (Attachment A) from the Town regarding a proposed supercharger site at the Milestone Crossing shopping area. This is located near Interstate 25 and the Founders Parkway/Front Street intersection in Castle Rock. If constructed, the site would house 16 direct current fast charging (DCFC) stalls for electric vehicle use.
If approved by Town Council, the attached letter will be signed by the Mayor and included with Tesla’s DCFC Plaza Application. This application is Tesla’s request to the Colorado Energy Office (CEO) for potential funding support for the project. There is no financial impact to the Town by providing this letter of support. The Town does not have any relationship with Tesla and does not have any investment in this potential project. Tesla submitted a preapplication to the Town in 2023 and will be required to attain necessary permits and approvals for this project.
Council approval of this item will permit the Mayor to sign the attached letter, which staff will then provide to Tesla for their purposes.
Proposed Motion
“I move to approve the letter of support as presented.”
