Campbell Adds 4 New EV Charging Stations

News from the City of Campbell:

The City is pleased to announce that it has installed four new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Campbell that are available for public use.

The new ChargePoint Level 2 charging stations, which came at no cost to the City, became fully operational earlier this year and are located at the Campbell Library and Community Center.

The stations have been installed as part of a wider effort known as the Bay Area Charge Ahead Project, a grant program funded by the California Energy Commission, which will install 152 EV charge ports throughout the Bay Area in high-priority areas that will relieve known EV charging congestion hot spots as well as known gaps in the Bay Area’s charging network.

“I’m very excited that the City now has a total of 15 charging stations in public parking areas. This should encourage more usage of electric vehicles in our community. As Mayor, I support improvement projects that are green and sustainable for our residents, businesses, and visitors”, said Mayor Jeff Cristina.

The Bay Area Charge Ahead Project is a region-wide collaboration led by the Bay Area Climate Collaborative (BACC), which is a program of Prospect Silicon Valley (a 501c3 organization). The mission of BACC is to accelerate the region’s transition to a clean energy economy through the promotion of sustainable mobility, clean energy, and energy efficiency.
