Councilor Corcoran presses staff on Tesla EV charger installations; staff cite PUD/containment issues
Summary
Councilor Corcoran asked whether planned Tesla EV charger installations are still moving forward; staff said installations are proceeding but have encountered PUD and containment-area issues and are reviewing costs and options.
During council comments, Councilor Corcoran asked whether planned Tesla EV charging stations remain on schedule given related installations in Raymond. Staff responded that the project is still expected to proceed but has encountered issues with the public-utility district and containment-area requirements, which could increase costs and require alternative approaches.
Council discussion noted other charging stations installed at local businesses (the Boondocks/Port Building) and that different charger types (superchargers vs. other chargers) may have differing technical and cost implications. No formal action was taken; the exchange was a council inquiry and staff update.
