Durham County encourages the use of electric vehicles to reduce local air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. When charged in off-peak hours, electric vehicles result in fewer greenhouse gas emissions than gasoline-powered vehicles. The County has two all-electric vehicles, which are used by Public Health and the Engineering and Environmental Services Department.

Both the City and County make it easier for residents and visitors to use electric vehicles by installing publicly accessible charging stations throughout the community.  We encourage operators of electric vehicles to only charge vehicles in off-peak hours (usually overnight) to reduce the greenhouse gases produced from electricity generation.

The stations listed below are available for free 24/7.  Standard parking fees apply in the parking decks.
