Electric Vehicle Charging

Sections
[ expand/close all ]

Having successfully installed and operated 46 public Level-2 EV chargers over the past ten years, the City continues to expand EV charging access. The City is currently developing additional public charger installations, and has already secured more than $3.5 million in grant funding for new installations throughout the City. 

To activate an Electrical Vehicle Charging Station, hold your ChargePoint membership card or RFID credit card to the front of the display screen. If you do not have a ChargePoint card or RFID credit card, call the toll free 1-888 number printed on the station. The holster will unlock and you can begin charging your vehicle after activating the station. More detailed instructions are available at ChargePoint.com/how-to-charge.

Visit ChargePoint.com, or call 888-758-4389 for payment, membership and ChargePoint Network information.
