Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging

Since 2018, the City of Long Beach has continued to expand its public EV charging infrastructure. Installation of EV charging stations in public facilities advances the City’s goals of reducing greenhouse emissions by facilitating the use of alternative fuel vehicles, with the long-term goal of carbon neutrality by 2045.

How to Pay

To pay for charging at our stations, a ChargePoint account is required. To set up an account and download the mobile app, visit chargepoint.com/drivers/.

Charging Rates:

Level 2

  • Peak-Rate  - $0.3277 - 0.3450/kWh (Kilowatt per hour) + 15% surcharge
  • Non-Peak-Rate - $0.2404 - 0.2531/kWh (Kilowatt per hour) + 15% surcharge

Idle fees are not assessed through the Chargepoint app until 60 minutes after charging stops for Level 2 chargers and 10 minutes for Level 3 chargers (at a rate of $1/hour) to ensure turnover.

In fee-based parking lots and garages, a separate parking fee is required according to signage posted onsite. $30 per plug-in max fee applies.

Rates are designed to recover operating costs or for other energy-efficient public benefit projects.

Costs include electricity, maintenance, and ChargePoint network subscription and processing fees.
