Check out the new EV Charger at Mesker Park Zoo!
The City of Evansville aims to expand its network of publicly accessible electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in high-demand locations, such as municipal parking garages, public parks, and transit hubs, to support drivers who do not have home chargers or need a mid-trip top-off. Evansville has already taken important steps toward this goal.
For example, the city installed EV chargers in the Sycamore Street public parking garage, making downtown charging free and easy to find. In 2025, ECC secured a grant through GOEVIN to install 10 new Level 2 EV chargers at 5 locations. Come this Spring, there will be publicly accessible charging stations at Mesker Park Zoo, Evansville Museum, Swonder Ice Arena, Deaconess Aquatic Center, and the Civic Center.

Improves air quality
Policies, practices, and programs that limit fossil fuel combustion reduce the emission of harmful air pollutants, such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxides. Adopting more sustainable actions enhances our air quality, resulting in improved health and a higher quality of life for everyone.
Supports local economy
An increase in demand for renewable energy systems, clean transportation options, and sustainable waste and land management methods create opportunities for research and innovation, market growth, product manufacturing, contractual services, and workforce development - all which furthers investment in the local economy.
Enhances equity
Equitable and affordable access to technologies and programs helps residents save money, reach essential services, and cope with climate impacts. Equitable access ensures even the most vulnerable and underserved have the opportunity to be safe, healthy, and resilient to climate impacts.
