Today, SLO County APCD staff were out in the field conducting site visits for an exciting electric vehicle infrastructure project that will bring DC Fast Chargers to several locations across San Luis Obispo County.

This first-of-its-kind regional effort is designed to improve EV accessibility. Making it easier than ever to charge up while exploring, commuting, or doing business throughout the county.

The project combines funding and collaboration from multiple local agencies and partners to create a network of reliable, low-cost charging options that support cleaner transportation choices and help reduce emissions in our communities.

We're excited to see this project moving forward and look forward to sharing more updates as these charging stations come online.
