Largest EV charging site in US coming to Mount Vernon, WA
MOUNT VERNON, Wash. - The largest public electric vehicle charging station in the United States is coming to northern Washington .
Mount Vernon will be the site of a new transportation hub called Library Commons. Developers say it will eventually have capacity for 200 charging stations right off the I-5. Initial construction will provide 76 stations.
The commons will boast a public library, a young adult STEM center, community conference center, commercial kitchen and, of course, EV charging stations.
Some building costs will be supported with a $12.5 million grant from President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill passed in 2021. Additionally, $3 million from the 2024 annual transportation budget following efforts from Senator Cantwell, her team said in a statement.
More money will come from a $26.8 million Transit-Oriented Loan from the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act. The loan is the first of its kind in the United States and reportedly saved the city of Mount Vernon $3 million.
