ACT NOW: We Need More EV Charging Stations in Charleston

“Charleston’s Climate Action Plan was adopted in May 2021 and is a 5-year strategic framework to reduce carbon pollution.  It includes 12 strategies and 51 action items for the City of Charleston and the entire community to pursue over the next 5 years which will put us on a path to reduce emissions 56% by 2030 and to net zero by 2050. ”

Included in the plan are two “high-priority” items related to electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure that many think should be addressed immediately.

Expand publicly-accessible electric vehicle charging infrastructure,
especially at ride share, mobility hubs, on-street peninsula access
and City parking facilities.

Create policy to require charging stations in new large commercial
construction and consider EV ready requirements for smaller
projects.

We need more EV chargers throughout the county but particularly on the Charleston Peninsula, where residential density and tourism are both increasing rapidly.

Here are some reasons why…

CLIMATE CHANGE

POPULAR DEMAND

WE ARE FAR BEHIND

Our current EV infrastructure is seriously lacking, relative to current demand, and will only get worse as demand grows if we do not act now.

If we want to demonstrate our commitment to sustainable transportation and a healthier environment, while more effectively meeting growing demand from conscientious residents and tourists, common sense dictates that we need to address the “high priority” need for increased EV insfrastructure now.

ACT NOW: Let our city council know that we need more EV charging stations
