Glendale Adds 25 New Electric Vehicle Chargers

GLENDALE, California – Glendale Water & Power (GWP) has successfully installed 25 new Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers in the Glendale Marketplace Parking Structure, located at 120 S. Artsakh Street. This project adds 25 new charging stations, 24 level 2 chargers and 1 DC fast charger, bringing Glendale’s total city-owned public chargers to 47, with more still in the works. To commemorate, GWP held a ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday, February 22, 2023. This project was partially funded through a grant from the California Air Resources Board’s Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee. The grant also provided partial funding for three other projects at the Glendale Transportation Center, Glendale Civic Center Parking Structure, and Glendale City Hall.

“Charging availability is one of the  most important factors that residents consider when purchasing an EV. GWP plans to continue supporting EV drivers through expanded charging infrastructure and incentive programs,” stated Mark Young, General Manager of GWP.

With Glendale’s EV population nearly tripling since 2016, and growth expected to continue in the coming years, installing EV chargers has been one of GWP’s top priorities, making the installation of these new 25 chargers a huge success. GWP also has incentive programs for their customers, including the GWP Charging Station Rebate, and the Off-Peak EV Charging Rebate Program, which gives customers $8/month in rebates for charging during off-peak hours.
