(April 2023 Update)

The City’s 40+ public Level-2 Charge Point EV chargers are now being supported by a new partner, DirtRoad. You current ChargePoint RFID card and phone APP will still work and the chargers will function the same, but may look a bit different. Additionally, the chargers, and thus your cars, are now being supplied with 100% carbon free energy from Santa Barbara Clean Energy, SBCE.

Charging rates have been updated for the first time in several years to reflect increased electricity rates and time-of-use time periods. Due to increased demand, an idle fee has been added to encourage customers to move vehicles after their vehicle is charged*, increasing the availability of chargers.

*Existing Granada Garage EV Parking Permit holders exempted.

The City looks forward to it’s Partnership with DirtRoad, who will be maintaining existing stations and installing new EV charging stations around town. Several new stations will be installed in 2023, starting with the City’s first DCFC fast chargers at Ortega garage.
