Fleet and Facilities are currently working together to install Level 2 EV chargers as a part of the city’s first phase of EV infrastructure.
We anticipate these vehicles coming to us within 6 months, but with supply chain issues it could be up to one year. General Services will compete Phase 1 of the EV infrastructure by that time. This will ensure that we have Level 2 EV Chargers accessible at each assigned location.
Cost: $490,317.21
