Electric Vehicle Goal

The City's EV Roadmap has a 2030 goal of 10% of all registered vehicles on local roads to switch to EVs, or about 8,000. There are policies and projects in this plan to support the goal. This includes 160 public use charging sites (municipal, workplace, retail, hospitality, etc.) to improve greater access (1 per 50 EVs). Please contact 715-839-4914 if you are interested in hosting a station on City of Eau Claire property.

Home & Fleet Charging

Both electric utilities within the city have EV programs. They may offer cheaper charging at night and useful resources in making the decision to go electric. Xcel Energy has an EV comparison tool that gives cost and emission reductions.

Public Use Charging

Find local charging locations to plan travel. The number of public use stations is growing with more options. The City of Eau Claire provides a few public stations downtown for residents, businesses, and visitors. Please promptly remove your EV once the charging session ends so it is available to others.
