Why is This Important?

Tracking the number of electric vehicle charging station permits issued helps the County understand the overall landscape of charging availability and growth.

What Does It Mean?

In November 2025, a specific permit type was developed for electric vehicle chargers. Prior to this time, permits for electric vehicle chargers were not specific. Therefore, it was difficult to track the number of new EV charging stations in unincorporated Arapahoe County.

The number of new EV charging station permits issued in Q3 2026 was 15. This is an increase from Q2 2026 when only 11 EV charging station permits were issued. This number primarily captures permits for privately owned charging stations for personal vehicles.
