Where are public charging stations needed in the Twin Cities region?
As more drivers are choosing electric vehicles, communities want to understand the needs for public charging stations in the region and where the region could use public transportation funds to support charging needs.
This analysis examined needs for public electric vehicle charging stations in the Twin Cities region and how the public sector can help meet that need. This effort advances objectives in the region’s
2050 Transportation Policy Plan (part of
Imagine 2050), including leading on climate change, creating an equitable and inclusive region, and supporting healthy communities.
