Board raises concerns about EV charging capacity, asks staff to inventory city chargers
Summary
Planning board members discussed limited electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in Winter Springs and asked staff to report back with the number and ownership (public vs. private) of chargers; members said current supply is inadequate.
During reports at the April 3 Winter Springs Planning and Zoning Board meeting, members expressed concern that the city lacks adequate electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and asked staff to compile an inventory of chargers in the city.
Board member Louis Hall (speaking during board reports) said Winter Springs may have only two charging units and that he believes none are city-owned; other board members agreed the number is insufficient for local demand and suggested staff research both private and public chargers. One member noted that chargers installed by private firms are often provided at no cost to the city but observed that such stations may be unavailable during peak times when vehicles occupy chargers for long durations.
The board directed staff to gather data on the number and location of charging stations (public and private) within the city and to return the information for future discussion. No specific funding or installation plan was proposed during the meeting.
The final public input period was opened and closed with no comments, and the board adjourned.
