Please see Future Blueprint for milestones. ## Future Blueprint The first milestone can be created within 3 months. **Milestone 1:** 300,000 Algorand Architectural and Engineering design plans for selected location for the (4) stall 250 Amp super charger station. Land lease signed (doesn’t cover rent) and plans are approved by the city. **Milestone 2:** 800,000 Algorand Acquisition of hardware. Beginning of installation of transformer and hardware ## Benefits for the community 1- Consistent daily transaction volume via chargers. Each charger can fully charge about 15,000 vehicles a year. 2- New Algorand holders who would not normally use crypto currency. _ Support of actual use case scenario helping crypto currency as a whole. 3- Low carbon emissions on the roads. 4- Increase access to electrical vehicle chargers._ Increase decentralize the grid. ## Additional information The land available for a long term lease depends on when we are awarded funds. We currently have a short list of locations in the San Diego County area and are ready to move on design plans immediately.
