Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

The City and County of Broomfield is advancing sustainable transportation with Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations available at various locations, with more stations coming soon. Level 2 EV chargers deliver higher charging power than Level 1 chargers. They are commonly installed at homes, workplaces and public charging stations. Compared to Level 1 chargers, Level 2 chargers greatly shorten the charging time, making them ideal for an EV's daily or regular charging needs. Accessible and simple to use, these chargers support a cleaner, greener future for our community.

New Charging Stations!

As of Mar. 18, new Level 2 EV charging stations are available at the George Di Ciero City and County Building. The three stations (six ports or parking spaces) are currently free to use. These stations were awarded through a grant from the Colorado Energy Office.

• One charging station is dedicated to handicap/handicap accessible. 
• Only electric vehicles will be able to park in these parking spaces. 
• While there is no time limit, users are encouraged to limit their charging time to 3 hours. 
• There is no cost to charge at this time. 
• Access the charging stations with the ChargePoint app or a ChargePoint card, or use contactless credit cards, digital wallets or pay-by-phone.

EVs do not require gasoline as their primary source of fuel and therefore do not directly emit greenhouse gasses (GHGs). While the majority of the electrical grid remains run by fossil fuels, EVs offer a cleaner form of transportation even when charged by legacy technologies. 

Current Broomfield demographics and traffic patterns highlight the need to switch from Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles to EVs to reduce GHGs. Broomfield has the opportunity to lower carbon emissions and ozone dramatically by increasing EV adoption and infrastructure. 

Colorado ranks among the top three US states for EV adoption rates. While prices may be higher initially, individuals can save up to $4,600 in maintenance costs over the life of the vehicle, in addition to average $800-$1,000 annual fuel savings. As EV demand and availability increases, the price for an EV will drop further, making EVs more accessible to a broader spectrum of consumers. In addition, used models of EVs are starting to become available, creating more accessibility to those who can not afford a new EV. 

Broomfield is well-positioned for implementation of an expanded EV charging infrastructure. It has been designated a key link in the statewide EV network due to its prime location between Boulder and Denver along the US 36 corridor and between Denver and Fort Collins along the I-25 corridor.

Electric Vehicle Parking Ordinance

In 2022, the City and County of Broomfield developed and adopted EV parking requirements for new development projects. This municipal code update specified the number of EV-Capable, EV-Ready and EV-Installed parking spaces required in parking lots for both residential and non-residential land uses. This ordinance was replaced in 2023 when Broomfield adopted the Colorado State EV Charging Requirements into the Broomfield Municipal Code.
