During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the installation of new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at city hall and the community center. The conversation highlighted the city's ongoing partnership with Peninsula Clean Energy and the challenges faced in previous attempts to install chargers due to high costs associated with the project.
City representatives clarified that the current plan includes the installation of three Level 3 quick charging stations, with two designated for city hall and one for the community center. These fast chargers are intended to be accessible to the public, promoting the use of electric vehicles within the community.
While initially there was uncertainty regarding the feasibility of the project, officials confirmed that the installation is now moving forward. However, there will be a nominal fee for users to charge their vehicles, which is intended to cover maintenance and operational costs.
This initiative reflects the city's commitment to enhancing EV infrastructure and supporting sustainable transportation options for residents. Further details on the project timeline and specific locations for the chargers are expected to be released as the installation progresses.
