Following the success of the Marengo Charging Plaza, one of the nation’s largest fast-charging locations, and the Arroyo Electric Vehicle Charging Depot, Pasadena Water and Power (PWP) built the new Shopper’s Lane Charging Depot through a successful public-private partnership.

Located in the South Lake Ave. Business District, the new charging depot features twelve Tesla V3 Superchargers, and eight PWP-branded Tritium 150-kW DC Fast-Chargers. The depot provides destination charging for consumers, and additional options for residents and visitors seeking to extend electric range.

100 EV charging stations in Pasadena

PWP continues to expand transportation electrification infrastructure, and currently offers over 100 publicly accessible EV charging stations throughout the City:

• Robinson Park is under construction to add five DC Fast Chargers, and 20 Level 2 chargers.
• Victory Park is also under construction to add four DC Fast Chargers, and 21 Level 2 chargers.

Both projects are expected to be complete and operational in early 2024. Four new Level 2 chargers are currently operational at Playhouse Village Park with an expansion project of 20 additional Level 2 chargers currently in the design process. A 37-charger expansion project at the Del Mar Station Garage is also operational.
