Marble Cliff raises EV charging rate to $0.25 per minute; penalty fee added
Summary
Fiscal Officer Stephanie A. Evans told council staff increased the village EV charger rate to $0.25 per minute (about $0.30 per kWh), doubling the prior per-kWh rate; staff also adopted a higher penalty rate after charging completes to discourage lingering.
At the Feb. 17 meeting, Fiscal Officer Stephanie A. Evans reported that staff raised the village’s EV charging rate to $0.25 per minute, which Evans characterized as approximately $0.30 per kilowatt hour. The minutes note that this is double the prior rate of $0.15 per kWh and remains below typical rates in the surrounding area (about $0.40 per kWh).
Evans also reported that staff established a higher penalty rate that applies once a charging session completes, intended to discourage lingering vehicles from occupying a charging stall. The minutes do not state the specific penalty amount or whether the change requires additional council action; Evans presented the change as a staff rate adjustment.
Fiscal Officer Evans additionally said that the January 2026 financial reports were not completed and will be presented at the next meeting. Assistant Fiscal Officer Peggy Shanahan announced that the Falco Scholarship application has been distributed and that the deadline for submissions is March 1, 2026.
The council recorded these staff reports as part of regular business; no formal vote on the EV rate change is recorded in the minutes.
