FRUITA, CO - This past week, the City of Fruita opened two electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at the Fruita Civic Center located at 325 E. Aspen Avenue. The installation of these stations is the result of a grant awarded to the City of Fruita in 2022 from the Colorado Department of Transportation.

These chargers are the first two DC Level III Chargers in Fruita which are more efficient than regular electric vehicle charging stations. Electric vehicle owners can expect to charge their vehicles in under an hour. The chargers boast a charging rate of approximately 400 miles per hour, marking a significant leap in convenience and accessibility for electric vehicle users in the Fruita area.

The City of Fruita is thrilled to have these available in the heart of Fruita in the downtown core. With the placement of these stations downtown, the City of Fruita hopes to see more visitors and residents enjoying local businesses and events while their vehicles are charging.
