Springfield’s City Water, Light and Power said 40 charge ports have been added at nine locations near shopping, tourism and business districts.
The project was made possible through a $629,000 Illinois Community Charging Program Grant awarded to CWLP. The program supports the installation of Level 2 charging stations across Springfield.
This project meets CWLP’s Smart City infrastructure goals, which include broader efforts to expand electric vehicle infrastructure across Springfield and to support clean energy.
