Seattle City Light and Seattle Parks and Recreation invite community members to attend the following open houses to learn about City Light’s proposal to install public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Magnuson Park and Gas Works Park as part of the City of Seattle’s Drive Clean Initiative. Road transportation represents two-thirds of Seattle’s climate pollution. The Drive Clean Initiative is focused on leveraging Seattle’s clean electricity across the transportation sector to support the city’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
Magnuson Park and Gas Works Park have been identified as sites for two direct current (DC) fast chargers for electric vehicles. These units can charge most EVs for approximately 100 miles of range in 30 minutes. At the open house, customers can learn about the proposed EV charging station locations. City of Seattle staff will be available to answer questions from the community about EVs and City Light’s public EV charging pilot program.
