Mayor Lurie cuts ribbon on Bayview’s first electric vehicle fast-charging stations

A sizeable crowd gathered in the parking lot of San Francisco’s Bayview Plaza Shopping Center, where attendees celebrated the first fast-charging stations for electric vehicles to come to the city’s Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood. 

Funded in part by a California Energy Commission grant secured by the San Francisco Environment Department, the six EVgo stalls represented what speakers at a ribbon-cutting ceremony said stood as a landmark for the historically low-income neighborhood of San Francisco that has faced years of environmental neglect.
