Council asks staff to seek EV-charging analysis funded by grants
Summary
Council unanimously approved a motion to request a report and analysis on EV charging stations—funded by federal, state and local grants at no cost to the city—citing Soap Lake’s location on major highway routes.
The Soap Lake City Council voted unanimously Jan. 15 to request a report and analysis on potential electric-vehicle charging stations, with Councilmember Bryson making the motion and Councilmember Gorman seconding. The motion states the city is "interested in getting a report and analysis on EV charging stations funded by federal, state, and local grants at no cost."
City Planner Kovach told the council a company contacted Soap Lake because of the city’s location along major highway routes, prompting the request for a feasibility analysis. The council did not commit city funds; the motion specified grant-funded options and asks staff to return with findings and recommendations.
