So far, about 10% of its light-duty cars are plug-ins, mostly Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Bolt models. Orlando also plans to power its entire fleet of vehicles with either electricity or alternative fuel sources - heavy vehicles like garbage trucks will be powered by compressed natural gas. It plans to build eight such hubs by 2030, including one at the Orange County Convention Center, Castro said.Ī portion of the needed spaces will come from an addition to code the City Council approved last year, which requires new apartment and commercial developments to put charging stations at 2% of parking spaces with between 10% and 20% of spaces wired to be a charging space. Last year, the city added 100 at parks, neighborhood centers and parking garages, and is also building a fast-charging hub of 20 stations on Robinson Street just south of Ace Café. The city may need as many as 5,000 charging stations by 2030 to provide convenient access across the city, Castro said. The plan aspires for all city residents to live within a 10-minute walk to a charging station, pitches an e-bike incentive program and incentives for developers to include charging stations in low- and moderate-income housing developments. It identifies goals such as providing equitable and affordable access by serving disadvantaged neighborhoods with electric buses and launching a car-sharing service for low- and moderate-income households, accelerating electric vehicle adoption, developing a robust charging network and converting rail and bus services to electric.
