1,000 curbside EV chargers are coming to Philadelphia

Philadelphia is gearing up for a major buildout of curbside EV chargers.

Brooklyn-based startup it’s electric has reached an agreement with the City of Philadelphia to install up to 1,000 Level 2 curbside chargers across the city.

City Councilmember Michael Driscoll, chair of the Transportation Committee, introduced legislation on behalf of City Council President Kenyatta Johnson to authorize the deal.

The agreement gives it’s electric an exclusive license to install and operate curbside Level 2 EV chargers on Philadelphia streets. The company plans to roll them out across all 18 of the city’s planning districts, with a focus on areas that currently have little or no public charging.
