There are over a dozen charging stations in the Municipality of Anchorage, and the number is increasing steadily. Chugach helped fund six of the first stations in Anchorage and Girdwood and continues to support new EV charging infrastructure. The Dimond Center hosts the city’s first DC fast charger capable of charging at more than 60 kW.

One of the most frequently used apps to find charging stations is called PlugShare. The app identifies the charger locations near you and provides information including the type of charger, types and numbers of charging ports, cost, user comments, and photos. More detailed information is sometimes available for networked chargers. For example, the ChargePoint app provides more detail about their chargers, such as availability, queuing, and charge complete notifications, if enabled.

Chugach has installed two Level 2 ChargePoint EV charging stations which are available for public use in the parking lots at its south headquarters at 5601 Electron Drive and north district building at 1040 E 1st Avenue. While there is currently no charge to use them, charging is limited to 8 hours per vehicle per week. Drivers need to first download the ChargePoint app or sign up for an account at chargepoint.com or dial the number on the charger.
