Project Overview
This two-phase project involves installing electric vehicle (EV) charging stations throughout Bellingham to improve the availability of EV charging and help Bellingham make progress on its climate action goals.
In total, this project will install 90 new EV plugs at 26 different locations across Bellingham on City-owned properties and public rights-of-way near destinations, workplaces, and multifamily residential areas. The project includes standard Level 2 chargers, DC fast chargers, and solar-powered chargers. Existing parking stalls will be converted to electric vehicle charging only stalls.
Phase 1 of this project (EF154) finished construction in 2023 and includes six charging stations. Phase 2 (ES567) is expected to begin construction in early 2024 and includes 20 charging stations.
Project Status – February 2024
Phase 2 of project is out to bid. Construction is expected to take place from approximately April to December 2024. Construction impacts should be minimal. See Phase 2 Charging Stations Locations map.
