In April, GS3 and RESCO agreed on the next step for their grant project—now moving into an early engineering and planning phase to help prepare for adding electric vehicles across Tribal departments. During this phase, the team is studying what is needed to make this work.
This includes:
- Looking at where charging stations should go
- Whether each site has enough electrical capacity
- How to coordinate with the local utility
The goal is to make sure the system will be reliable and work well for daily operations. The team is also visiting project sites and working closely with Tribal staff to understand their needs. Early coordination like this, ensures the final plan is realistic and can grow over time as needs change.
Our work with RESCO remains focused on bringing in electric transportation to improve mobility, reduce emissions, and support long-term sustainability for the Tribe. By the end of this phase, the team will have a clearer design, better cost estimates, and a step-by-step plan for final implementation.
