The City of Seattle is launching a project to install 200 new EV chargers across the city, and you can apply to have one installed on your block.
You can apply to have one installed near you
City Light and SDOT are accepting applications now through fall 2027 for new charging locations. The two departments will review applications and select the new locations, to be selected in batches of 40 to 50 at a time, on an ongoing basis.
you know where this is heading…some assholes will stay plugged in forever just parking.
They need a meter that starts charging the customer for idle time after full charge.
They aren’t free, just available where needed instead of just where most commercially viable. The same site has an article about one installed via an early program in 2023:

This was the listed cost at the time:
The cost to charge will be $0.21 per kWh, and payments will be accepted via the Shell Recharge app or RFID card.
You will absolutely be charged for idling a car past the charging time like at other EV chargers.
A charge would merely put a low price on misuse. Better to prohibit overuse by rules, and tow rulebreakers
it could be a high price…
