EV Charging Stations Now on Galt Ocean Drive

Six EV charging stations have been installed in the south and north city parking lots along Galt Ocean Drive. These new stations are pat of the total renovations of the two parking lots. Both were resurfaced, repaired and improved drainage, and lighting added.

The stations are Level II, 40 amp, where a 4-hour charge provides sufficient charge. The cost is $5 per hour, payable through the city’s ParkingMobile app, or by purchasing a sticker for $50 a monthly EV charging permit which is valid at all Fort Lauderdale city EV charging stations. Click here to see the instructions about EV charger usage. For general information about EV charging and obtaining permits, click here.

The Galt Mile Community Association expresses it thanks to the city for their commitment to placing EV charging stations on the Galt Mile and for the improvements in the two city parking lots. The next project is the Galt Ocean Drive Safety Improvements project, which will hopefully begin this summer.
