The southeast sector of the city now has more electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, according to a statement from the City of Fort Wayne.
The City of Fort Wayne’s Public Works Division announced that it had installed two EV charging stations on the southeast side of the city: one near the McKinnie Avenue and Anthony Boulevard intersection at McKinnie Commons, and the other on McKinnie Avenue close to the Three Fountain Apartments.
In the southeast quadrant, those are the fourth and fifth electric vehicle stations. One is at the Renaissance YMCA, while two others are at McMillen Park.
Fort Wayne has set up 36 EV stations in total at 17 different places throughout the city. They are all spread throughout a variety of public and private spaces.
In addition to McKinnie Avenue, the EV stations are at the following locations:
Allen County Public Library
Berry Street
Civic Center Garage
Clyde Theatre
Indiana Tech
Foster Park
Jefferson Pointe
McKinnie Commons
McMillen Park
Meijer – Dupont Road
Meijer – Lima Road
Meijer- Maysville Road
Allen County War Memorial Coliseum
Renaissance YMCA
Skyline Garage
Wayne Street
All of this work was done in response to the Biden Administration‘s calls for greater EV usage.
According to a White House news release, as of January of this year, the United States was on track to deploy 500,000 charging stations across the country by 2026.
Fort Wayne Mayor Sharon Tucker’s efforts to increase investment in the southeast area of the city were bolstered by the installation of the stations in the southeast quadrant.
The public is free to use every charging station in the city.
