(G) If the applicant fails to demonstrate the operability within 24 months of approval and if the estimated potential FCI credits from all approved FCI and LMD-FCI FSEs exceed 2.5 percent of deficits in the most recent quarter for which deficit data is available, then FCI certification for the LMD-FCI FSEs will be canceled. The applicant may submit a new application for the same FSEs the following quarter.

      8. (H) The estimated cumulative value of FCI credits generated for the LMD-FCI FSEs at a site in the prior quarter must be less than the difference between 1.5 times the initial capital expenditure of the charging site, including battery storage but not on-site generation, reported pursuant to section 95486.3(b)(6)(B)1. and the sum of total grant revenue or other external funding before the station is both approved and operational, pursuant to subsections 95486.3(b)(6)(B)5. and 6.

         1. 1. The estimated value of FCI credits, for the purpose of this determination, shall be calculated using the number of FCI credits generated for the LD-FCI FSE in the quarter and the average LCFS credit price for that quarter published on the LCFS website.
         2. 2. The estimated value calculated under this provision will be made available only to the respective reporting entity in LRT-CBTS and will not be published on the LCFS website.
         3. 3. This will not affect the reporting entity's ability to generate non-FCI LCFS credits for the electricity dispensed at the FSE.

   5. (5) Calculation of FCI Credits. FCI credits for LMD-FCI FSEs will be calculated using the following equation for each FSE approved under this provision:

      

      where:

      

      is the average carbon intensity requirement for gasoline for a given year as provided in section 95484(d);

      EER^gasoline is the dimensionless Energy Economy Ratio for Electricity/BEV or PHEV relative to gasoline as listed in Table 5;

      CI_FCI is the California average grid electricity carbon intensity as listed in Table 7-1;

      C_Elec is the conversion factor for electricity as listed in Table 4;

      

      is the FCI charging capacity (kWh/day) for the LMD-FCI FSE;

      N is the number of days during the quarter;

      UT is the uptime multiplier which is the fraction of time that the LMD-FCI FSE is available for charging during the quarter;

      Elec_disp is the quantity of electricity dispensed during the quarter (kWh);

      C is a factor used to convert credits to units of metric tons from gCO₂e and has the value of:

      

   6. (6) Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements. The following must be reported to the Executive Officer each quarter as set forth in section 95491 before credits will be issued to the LRT account associated with an approved FCI pathway.

      1. (A) FSE availability. This is the percentage of hours the FSE is available for charging during the quarter relative to the permitted hours of operation for the site.

      2. (B) Cost and revenue data. Provide an annual account of the following costs borne and revenues received for the site. The cost and revenue account must be included in the annual report submitted pursuant to section 95491.

         1. 1. Total capital expenditures ($), including a breakdown of initial capital expenditure by equipment, labor, materials, land, and fees ($). Costs for land, working capital and off-site facilities are not included in the initial capital expenditure;
         2. 2. Total delivered cost ($) of electricity, including demand charges, and average delivered cost ($/kWh) for electricity;
         3. 3. Total maintenance costs ($);
         4. 4. Total land rental cost ($);
         5. 5. Total grant revenue or other external funding received towards capital expenditures ($);
         6. 6. Total grant revenue or other external funding received towards operational and maintenance expenditures ($);
         7. 7. Total revenue ($) received from sale of electricity and average retail price ($/kWh) for electricity sold;
         8. 8. Other operational expenditures ($).
