Project Description

This project will convert existing charging stations into smart electric vehicle charging technology, as well as examine the potential for additional infrastructure and its implementation. The currently installed charging stations do not allow for any data gathering, analysis, maintenance and monitoring to optimize energy consumption and for increased efficiency.

Project Information

 In June 2024, the Gilbert Town Council adopted electric vehicle charging fees. The new chargers will operate with this fee structure, which is listed below: 

• $0.25 per kWh cost to charge for the first four hours
• $0.70 per kWh cost to charge after four hours
• $5.00 per hour idle fee if not actively charging vehicle
• $175 fine for non-electric vehicles or electric vehicles not plugged into the charging station parked in an electric vehicle space
