“The City is committed to extending access citywide and strategically placing charging infrastructure, e-bike lending, and car-sharing services for communities throughout the city,” Principal Planner Fedolia “Sparky” Harris wrote in the news release. “It’s critical to ensure widespread accessibility off the grid.”
Along with offering more charging options for owners of EVs, the city is also planning to use this expanding network of charging stations to support its “Our Community CarShare” transportation program.

The car-share program is operated in partnership with Zipcar as a cost-sharing transportation option for residents to run errands, make local trips and get to appointments in a zero-emission vehicle.
Currently, the city operates 64 of its own EV charging stations that are compatible with the existing public EV market with either direct connections or adapters.
