Three new EV charging stations have made their appearance next to the Library this week. Final inspections were made this morning and the stations are now fully operational.
The grant was awarded in early December. Originally staff was told the City would be responsible for paying approximately $4,000 for the installation, but the Grantor was able to procure extra funds from the California Energy Commission to cover the installation. Staff is working on getting signage to designate the parking spaces for EV parking.
The grants were funded in part by the U. S. Department of Energy and the California Energy Commission (CEC). The charging stations have been provided by Coulomb Technologies.
The Library, with its close proximity to City Hall, a busy Sports park and both 580 and 680 make it a good location. In addition, there are currently at least two car dealers in Dublin selling electric vehicles. The new charging stations employ the latest “smart” technology which allows utilities and consumers to remotely monitor their performance. An electric vehicle owner with a cell phone can start or stop a charge, find a station with their GPS, and even check to see which ones are in use.
