Provide Your Input on Electric Vehicle Charging Station Locations for the Kenmore Community

Public charging stations make owning Electric Vehicles more convenient. Although some EV owners charge at home, public charging stations can increase the daily useful range of all-electric vehicles and of course help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. They can also help provide places to charge for people who don’t have access to their own charger at home, like renters, people living in multi-family housing units like apartments or mobile home lots where vehicle owners have less control over installing chargers at home.

The City of Kenmore is beginning to develop plans to install more public EV charging to do its part to help combat climate change and to provide infrastructure that supports the state’s mandate to increase zero-emission vehicle sales of cars to 100% starting in 2035. The goal of this work is to provide reliable EV charging that works for as many people as possible and that helps bridge any gaps in accessibility for people who don’t have the option to charge at home. To make this plan a success, we want to hear from you about where you think accessible, reliable EV charging should be installed to meet your City’s needs.


Map Activity

Help us understand which locations in Kenmore would work best to install EV chargers and help serve the whole community.

When considering locations, it’s helpful to keep in mind that in general, public charging stations should be located where vehicle owners are highly concentrated and parked for long periods. Examples of these types of locations include:

  • shopping centers
  • community centers and libraries
  • parks, recreational spaces and hiking trails
  • airports
  • hotels
  • government offices
  • transportation hubs where people may leave their cars during the day, like a day-time parking lot at train or light rail station
  • highway corridors
  • multi-family housing parking

For example, Kenmore’s two existing public chargers right now are at the Kenmore town square and in the Safeway parking lot.

Project Background

Input and feedback on charging locations will be incorporated into the City of Kenmore's in-progress Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan. This plan takes a strategic look at where public chargers would be best suited now and in the future. The Plan will help identify potential partnerships, assess logistical and funding needs, and create a roadmap for electrifying the City's fleet.


The EV Infrastructure Plan is supported with funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act. The CCA supports Washington’s climate action efforts by putting cap-and-invest dollars to work reducing climate pollution, creating jobs, and improving public health. Information about the CCA is available at www.climate.wa.gov.

  • EV Charging Preferences Survey

    Please tell us a little bit about your preferences and thoughts around electric vehicles and charging. This survey is anonymous.

    For the purposes of this survey, please note that both DCFCs (direct current fast chargers or DC fast charging stations) and Level 2 chargers are used to charge electric vehicles (EVs), but will do so at varying speeds. Level 2 chargers can get an EV 150 miles of range in 4-8 hours of charging time while a DCFC can get an EV that same 150 miles of range in 15-30 minutes. L2 charging is typically more appropriate and cost effective for spaces where people park for longer periods of time  (such as at work during the day or overnight at home) while DCFCs may be more appropriate to use for spaces where people park for short periods of time and need to charge quickly to fill up (during longer trips road trips, while spending time at retail centers, etc.)
