**Experience with Algorand**

From creation in 2022, DigiLeaf has operated with consistent uptime in:

DigiLeaf DApp - Connecting hardware

License Portal - Buy/Renew Licenses

DigiLeaf Mobile App

(i) Finding chargers

(ii) Monitoring hardware

(iii) Buy Leaf$ with credit card, Sell Leaf$ to bank

Rewards - To owners of DigiLeaf solar hardware

Charger Uptime - Connectivity and availability

**Present Proposal**

DigiLeaf proposes to operate a (4) stall 250 Amp super charger station in Southern California

**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.
