EV Charging
The easiest way to charge an EV is overnight at home. But for owners without a garage or driveway, workplace and public charging is critical. King County pursues grants and partnerships (such as WA Department of Commerce funding) to ensure more of these stations are installed and operational, especially in underserved areas.
- Locate public chargers in King County using the PlugShare website.
- Learn more about charging at King County’s own facilities and garages.
