Burbank Water & Power Completes Installation of New Electric Vehicle Charging Ports

16 EV Charging Ports Now Available to the Public in Downtown Burbank

Burbank, California (June 21, 2021) — Burbank Water and Power is excited to announce the installation of 16 new level 2 electric vehicle (EV) charging ports located at the Community Services Building parking lot at 375 E. Olive Avenue. The charging ports are conveniently located in Downtown Burbank and are available for members of the public and City employees.

The installation of these 16 EV charging ports are part of BWP’s goal to install 24 publicly available EV charging ports during the 2020/21 fiscal year. Other recent installations include six curbside EV charger ports at N. Hollywood Way near Victory Blvd., N. Buena Vista St. adjacent to the Buena Vista Library, and W. Alameda Ave. near S. Main St., and four EV charger ports in the BWP Lake Street parking lot. 

BWP worked closely with the City’s Community Development Department and Public Works Department to complete these projects. Funding came from a grant from the South Coast Air Quality Management District and the sale of state Low Carbon Fuel Standard credits.

“The installation of the 16 EV charger ports in Downtown Burbank is an exciting upgrade for the City because it makes access to charging stations more accessible for residents, Library patrons, Downtown Burbank visitors, and City staff,” said Mayor Bob Frutos.
