Publicly Accessible Electric Vehicle Charging

The map above shows the number of available charging ports as of September 15th, 2023. 

Electric Vehicles (EVs) create less greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution than traditional gasoline-fueled vehicles. EV drivers benefit from better fuel economy and financial incentives, and contribute to cleaner air and better health for the community. The Town recognizes the importance of EV infrastructure along with other healthy & sustainable modes of transportation such as walking, biking, micro-mobility, and public transportation. 

The Transportation Division has taken the lead in the planning and build out of publicly accessible charging stations in Town owned parking lots. Using grant funding and Transportation Network Company local funds, the Town has installed and maintain Chargepoint Level 2 Dual Port chargers in the following public parking lots in Town Hall, Centre Street East, Babcock Street, and Fuller Street Lot. 

The Town recently collaborated with Greenspot added a DC Fast Charger (Level 3) on the Beacon Street eastbound median across from 1351 Beacon Street in Coolidge Corner in April, 2023.
