Summary
Commonwealth Electrical Technologies presented three on-street EV charging locations; commissioners moved the projects to public hearing and proposed a 7 p.m.–7 a.m. EV-only parking restriction for those spaces.
The Revere City Traffic Commission moved three planned on-street electric-vehicle charging installations to public hearing on Jan. 15 and proposed restricting the spaces to EVs from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Steve Conte of Commonwealth Electrical Technologies described community engagement and design work for chargers at Macomba Street, Hutchinson Street and Procter Avenue under a Massachusetts Clean Energy Center on-street charging grant awarded to Revere. Conte said each station will have a nearby panel with an exterior disconnect switch for first responders and interior circuit breakers. He also said the program often installs concrete-embedded bollards in front of stations for protection.
Commissioners asked whether the parking would be EV-only and how enforcement would work; Conte said the program requires a minimum of 12 hours per day EV-only and enforcement would be up to the City’s parking authority. Commissioners proposed listing hours of 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. in the public hearing notice and moving the project to a public hearing; the motion carried.
The project is grant-funded; the commission asked staff to coordinate parking-authority enforcement and to include first-responder and bollard details in hearing materials.
