+
+## Present Proposal
+
+DigiLeaf proposes to operate a (4) stall 250 Amp super charger station in Southern California
+
+### Deliverable
+
+4 stall ev charging station build on the algornad network. 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.
