SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- San Francisco has been awarded $15 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation to install more publicly accessible electric vehicle charging stations, Mayor Daniel Lurie announced Tuesday. Funds from the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Grant Program will be used to add 300 chargers across the city. The project aims to install 30 DC fast chargers (Level 3) and 270 Level 2 chargers in the city. The fast chargers can charge a car in less than an hour, while Level 2 chargers can charge a vehicle in two to six hours, according to the mayor’s office. Neighborhoods mentioned by name in a news release from the mayor’s office to gain chargers include Civic Center, Western Addition, Chinatown, Mission, Treasure Island, Bayview Hunters Point, Richmond and Sunset.

The San Francisco Environment Department developed the winning proposal in partnership with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, the Port of San Francisco, and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. “I am proud of the efforts our departments are making together to bring critical funds into the city,” Mayor Lurie said in a statement. “These are the kinds of proactive collaborations the city will continue to undertake to provide efficient and effective transportation, leverage infrastructure projects to boost economic growth, and keep the city on track to meet our robust climate goals.”
