Sonoma County boosts green energy infrastructure with new mobile, solar-powered EV charging stations

Sonoma County has purchased 3 mobile solar-powered EV charging stations to support zero-emission vehicles and mitigate ongoing climate disruption.

Sonoma County has purchased three mobile solar-powered electric vehicle charging stations to support zero-emission vehicles and mitigate ongoing climate disruption, consistent with the Climate Action and Resiliency pillar of the County’s strategic plan. The initiative is part of a larger program to replace all eligible County Fleet internal combustion engines with electric vehicles by 2030.

Initial locations for the charging stations include the parking areas at Ragle Ranch Regional Park in Sebastopol, Taylor Mountain Regional Park and Open Space Preserve in Santa Rosa, and North Sonoma Mountain Regional Park and Open Space Preserve in Sonoma Valley. The units could be relocated over time depending on utilization rates, operational limitations such as lack of sunlight, and use as a backup power supply in the event of an emergency. The charging stations are free to the public (with park parking fee where applicable).
