Berkeley staff will begin talks to set $600,000 over the next two years to install three fast-charging EV hubs in high-traffic, city-owned public parking lots and garages near dense multifamily hou…
Harrison said the infrastructure will be crafted with the idea of encouraging renters to buy electric vehicles. They make up more than 50% of the city’s residents, but many don’t otherwise have access to charging ports in designated parking spots or garages.
Of the more than 60,000 registered vehicles in Berkeley, approximately 3,650 are electric — a figure that’s way below the city’s goal of having more than 15,000 circulating its streets by 2025. Mayor Jesse Arreguín enthusiastically supported committing future funds for the project, which he said aligns with the city’s other efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. According to a 2019 inventory, 60% of the city’s emissions were transportation-related.
The concept of installing stations where people already visit isn’t new: San Jose installed 53 charging stations in downtown parking garages and near Westfield Valley Mall and Santana Row, adding to the city’ stock of nearly 1,000 other ports. Meanwhile, federal help may be on the way. President Joe Biden announced in November a goal of increasing the nation’s roughly 50,000 public EV charging stations to half a million by 2030.

States get go-ahead to build electric car charging stationsStates are getting the go-ahead to build a nationwide network of electric vehicle charging stations that would place new or upgraded ones every 50 miles (80 kilometers) along interstate highways as part of the Biden administration’s plan to spur widespread adoption of the zero-emission cars. The administration on Thursday announced the availability of $5 billion in federal money to states over five years under President Joe Biden's infrastructure law, sketching out a vision of seamless climate-friendly car travel from coast to coast. Under Transportation Department requirements, states must submit plans to the federal government and can begin construction by this fall if they focus first on highway routes, rather than neighborhoods and shopping centers, that can allow people to take their electric vehicles long distances.
