据 InsideEVs 报道，西雅图计划到 2030 年安装多达 200 个路边二级电动汽车充电桩，重点覆盖公寓楼密集区域。居民可于 2027 年秋季前提出选址建议。该项目由一项 15.5 亿美元的交通税款资助，此前已完成 58 个充电桩的试点。
Seattle plans to install up to 200 curbside Level 2 EV chargers by 2030, focused on areas with apartment buildings, InsideEVs reported. Residents can suggest sites until autumn 2027. The chargers are funded by a $1.55B transport levy and follow a pilot of 58 chargers.
据 InsideEVs 报道，西雅图计划到 2030 年为电动汽车安装多达 200 个路边充电桩，居民现可提出选址建议。该计划旨在服务公寓住户，他们往往没有路外停车位或家用充电桩。欧洲面临同样的问题，因此欧盟正在为公寓住户推出“插电权”立法。
Seattle plans to install up to 200 curbside chargers for electric cars by 2030, and residents can now suggest where they should go, InsideEVs reported. The programme is aimed at people in apartments, who often have no off-street parking or home charger. Europe has the same problem, which is why the EU is bringing in a “right to plug” for people in flats.
申请通道已在西雅图市政电力公司网站开放，截止至 2027 年秋季。这家市属公用事业公司和西雅图交通局将分批选址，每批 40 至 50 个，自 2027 年 1 月起开始。
Applications are open on Seattle City Light’s website until autumn 2027. The city-owned utility and Seattle’s transport department will choose sites in batches of 40 to 50, starting in January 2027.
优先考虑靠近公寓楼且距离现有路边充电桩较远的区域。市政府还将倾向于选择靠近商店和公园、污染较重且有投资不足历史的社区。
Priority goes to areas near apartment buildings that are far from existing curbside chargers. The city will also favour spots close to shops and parks, and communities with high pollution and a history of underinvestment.
安装工作将于 2027 年秋季启动，每个地点施工约两周。所有充电桩预计将于 2030 年前投入运行。
Installation will start in autumn 2027, with about two weeks of building work at each site. All the chargers should be running by 2030.
这些二级充电桩功率高达 9.6 千瓦，每小时可增加约 30 英里（约 48 公里）续航，收费为每千瓦时 0.21 美元。采用先到先充原则，不支持预约。
The Level 2 chargers deliver up to 9.6 kilowatts, enough to add about 30 miles of range an hour, and cost $0.21 per kilowatt-hour. They are first come, first served, and can’t be reserved.
该计划建立在先前试点基础上，试点在 31 个地点安装了 58 个充电桩。西雅图交通局发言人告诉《西雅图时报》，过去一年这些充电桩被使用了 4.5 万次。该市表示，需求正在增长，目前西雅图地区新登记车辆中约四分之一为电动汽车。
The plan builds on a pilot that installed 58 chargers at 31 sites. Those chargers were used 45,000 times in the past year, a transport department spokesperson told The Seattle Times. Demand is growing, with roughly one in four new vehicles registered in the Seattle area now electric, the city says.
这些充电桩由西雅图选民 2024 年批准的一项 15.5 亿美元交通税款支付。据《西雅图时报》报道，其中约 2100 万美元将用于路边充电桩。相比之下，佛罗里达州打算将其联邦充电桩资金用于建设空中出租车着陆垫。
The chargers are paid for by a $1.55B transport levy that Seattle voters approved in 2024. About $21M of it will go to the curbside chargers, according to The Seattle Times. Florida, by contrast, wants to spend its federal charger money on air taxi landing pads.
其他美国城市也在采取类似举措。8月，纽约市表示将增加600个路边充电桩，此前发现现有充电桩的占用率高达99%。快速充电设施也在增长：本月美国快速充电接口数量已突破8万个。
Other US cities are doing the same. In August, New York City said it would add 600 curbside chargers, after finding its existing ones were occupied up to 99% of the time. Fast charging is growing too: the US passed 80,000 fast-charging ports this month.
