Electric Vehicle Charging

Sometimes we all need to stop and charge our batteries

The City has 50 charging stations in operation, primarily in downtown public parking garages:

  • Downtown garages: City Hall, Convention Center, Fourth & San Fernando, Fourth & St. John, Market & San Pedro Square, Second & San Carlos, and Third Street
  • Surface Lot: Woz & Almaden Blvd.
  • On the street: Santa Clara Street between 4th and 5th streets

There are three different styles of ChargePoint chargers.  The Level 1 charger (120 V @ 16 A) delivers a 2 kW output. The Level 2 charger (208/240 V @ 30 A) delivers 7.2 kW output charging via a standard SAE J1772™ connector.  Some of the chargers offer both Level 1 and 2.

Cost to use the station is $1.25 per session and $0.25 per kWh during the day, and $0.20 per kWh overnight (9:30 p.m. – 8:30 a.m.)
