Creating a strategic roadmap for zero-emission fleet transition and electric vehicle charging expansion

City of Pasadena Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan

The City of Pasadena teamed with Stantec and Greenlots to install a 20-stall electric vehicle (EV) charging station at their Marengo Garage. We provided planning, design, and structural and electrical engineering services and acquired plan check permitting for the project, which Greenlots then constructed.

Adjacent to the City’s charging stations, Tesla set up a station with 24 stalls. The 44 new charging stations—including five Americans with Disabilities Act compliant charging spaces—sit atop a public parking structure across from the Paseo Colorado Mall at the City’s center. We provided designs for upgrading the existing parking structure to support the structural loads required.

Together, these stalls serve as one of the largest Level 3 (480-volt) EV charging stations in the US. Level 3 fast chargers reduce charging time, getting drivers back on the road with a full charge in approximately 30 minutes.
