How to Get an EV Parking Permit for City Lots with EV Chargers
Two EV Parking Permit options are
available as of July 1, 2023. If you are an EV driver that
frequently uses the chargers at any of the following City lots, you can
purchase an annual EV Parking Permit rather than paying for parking each
time you enter the lot. All chargers
are level 2 ChargePoint stations.
Please Note
- EV drivers must be plugged in to a charger to use these permits.
- Only fully electric vehicles are eligible for these permits (no plug-in hybrids). This will be confirmed by your proof of registration.
- EV parking permits do not guarantee station availability, but you can check the status at ChargePoint.com.
