The Dallas City Council held a briefing on June 4, 2025, focusing on the status of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the city. The meeting addressed the operational readiness of various charging stations, specifically the level 3 chargers located at Central and Southeast depots.
During the discussion, it was confirmed that the level 3 chargers at both locations are fully operational, with a total of four charging ports available at each site. However, there was clarification regarding the status of other planned level 3 chargers at Southwest and Northeast locations, which are still in the design phase and have not yet begun construction.
Council members expressed a desire for ongoing updates on the charging infrastructure, particularly from a Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) perspective. It was suggested that a briefing be provided at the upcoming Public Transportation and Environment (PTE) committee meeting to monitor progress and address any delays.
Overall, the meeting highlighted the city's commitment to expanding its electric vehicle charging network while acknowledging the challenges faced in the implementation of additional stations. The council plans to continue oversight of this initiative to ensure timely completion and functionality of the infrastructure.
