Summary
Public chargers nearly doubled since 2023, but east San Mateo has almost none and renters can't easily charge at home. The Council is exploring curbside charging, after-hours access to school and employer chargers, and partnerships to fill the gaps.

Impact analysis
Installing more public chargers will cost the city money, and staff want to keep new installations as cost-neutral as possible.
Renters, apartment dwellers, and residents without home charging gain the most from expanded public access.
Drivers in east San Mateo and renters facing high installation costs and unreliable chargers remain underserved.
