~ First EV charging stations to be available for public usage~

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. – To support Fairfax County’s goal and commitment to become carbon neutral by 2040, the Government Center will begin installing electric vehicle (EV) charging stations for public and fleet vehicles. These EV charging stations will be the first at the Government Center for public use. Construction on the project will begin on June 29, 2026.

To fully charge an empty EV battery, it will take around four to ten hours with the Level 2 ChargePoint chargers. The plan is to install six dual chargers for twelve parking spaces with an additional six future dual charger bases. There will also be four single chargers for four accessible parking spaces. The fleet vehicles will have ten dual chargers for twenty parking spaces with an additional ten future dual charger bases. 

During construction, there will be partial closures in parking lots A and B. During each phase, parking spaces will be limited. Clear signage and direction will be provided for pedestrians and vehicles.

The whole project will cost around $1.56 million including the chargers for the public and fleet vehicles.
