We are excited that City Council approved the Electric Vehicle (EV) Readiness Plan on Sept. 6, 2023. The City utilized Xcel’s Partners in Energy free consultation service to lead and create the plan alongside City staff. Please take a few minutes and check out the documents and articles about Electric Vehicles we have shared here. You can also tell us your ideas for how the City can incorporate EVs into everyday life in Grand Junction, suggest locations for charging stations by pinning a location on the map, and sign up for updates by following the project. This new engagement platform was designed to help our community get involved and help make decisions that impact our quality of life in Grand Junction.

Ready for EVs

Located at the crossroads of two major regional travel corridors, Grand Junction is uniquely situated to benefit from the ongoing transition to electric vehicles (EVs). Nearly 10% of newly registered vehicles in Colorado in 2022 were EVs, making the state a top-five national leader in EV adoption, and almost a million Colorado-registered EVs are expected to be on the road by 2030. Affordability and charging flexibility continue to improve in the EV market, and the City’s EV readiness plan will engage with all members of our community and seek to provide fair access to help create realistic EV-related opportunities across the entire community. Collaborating with XCEL Energy’s “Partners in Energy” program enables the City to access charging infrastructure funding and rebate opportunities to help realize this goal. An EV Action Team has been deployed to play a critical role in supporting the completion of the plan in addition to gathering information and suggestions from the community. The EV Action Team will help ensure the final plan is inclusive, focuses on the equitable distribution of resources, and reflects diverse perspectives.

By implementing infrastructure and policies that attract EV-driving travelers and local and regional commuters, the City sees an opportunity to become a vital regional charging hub. For this reason, the City is now preparing an EV readiness plan to ensure the City has established a framework to capture this opportunity for the benefit of our entire community. We want to hear from you!
