Proposed Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure, (A)
Increasing EV infrastructure was identified as a priority at the Community Convening on Climate held in July of 2020. It was also identified in previous city plans and policies. At the Oct. 19, 2020 Council Meeting, the City Council requested an EV charging ordinance proposal to come to them in January 2021. Increasing EV charging infrastructure in new buildings and substantial retrofits will help encourage the growth in EV usage among residents, which will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
