Mesa Public Library EV Charging Stations Installation

  • Project typeSustainability - Construction
  • Project value$000
  • Project scheduleMarch 2026 to XXX 2026
  • Completion DateMay 30, 2026

The County will be installing XX EV charging stations powered by XX level 2 dual-port networked chargers at the Mesa Public Library parking lot (2400 Central Ave., Los Alamos).

XXXXXXXXX will perform construction work to accommodate the power supply systems and support pads for the chargers, install the chargers, make an accessible charging station, install bollards to prevent vehicles from hitting the chargers, and provide an emergency power shut-off.

Work will be confined to the main parking area located on the south side of the Mesa Public Library, off Oppenheimer Drive (see detail of map below). No interruptions to traffic are anticipated on the Library drive-thru or in the main parking lot.

These charging stations will be available to the public and for the County’s fleet at the completion of the project. A fee will be required to use the chargers at a rate of $0.23/kWh.
