Charging Stations

Kane County has installed three County operated electric vehicle (EV) charging stations for public use. All stations have ChargePoint Level 2 charging ports – meaning a faster charge for EVs.

If you own a public EV charging station it is highly recommended that you register your station with the Alternative Fuels Data Center to help EV drivers to locate your station.

Find other EV charging stations near your destination at: Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center Alternative Fueling Station Locator, chargepoint.com or plugshare.com.

You can also download the Plugshare app.

Parking Regulations at EV Charging Stations:

A person may park only an electric vehicle in an electric vehicle charging station space designated for use by electric vehicles. Unauthorized use of EV-only parking by non-EVs at both public and private properties is prohibited.
