SAN RAFAEL at CONCORD, Calif. — MCE and Enel X Way partnered with Napa Valley College to add 8 new Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) charging ports and replace 4 older ports. The 12 new ports tripled charging access available to campus visitors and reflect Napa Valley College’s larger commitment to sustainability by increasing accessibility to green transportation.
“Napa Valley College is excited to significantly increase the number of charging stations available to our faculty and students,” said Holly Dawson, Director of Public Affairs and Communications at Napa Valley College. “MCE and Enel X Way have been excellent partners throughout this process, making it easy and affordable for us to better serve our community.”
“Increasing the number of charging stations in our service area is critical because it’s one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption,” said Brad Wagenknecht, MCE Board Director and Napa County Supervisor. “The new stations at Napa Valley College make clean energy transportation options more accessible to everyone. Combined with MCE’s income-qualified EV rebates, this project helps residents adopt cleaner, cheaper transportation options that combat climate change and local air pollution.”
“We’re proud to partner with MCE and Napa Valley College in their clean energy transition through smart EV infrastructure,” said Chris Baker, Vice President, Sales at Enel X Way North America. “We’re seeing more communities and campuses electrify across North America, and MCE’s incentive is a material development for accelerating local EV adoption and improving local air quality.”
MCE has installed over 850 charging ports across the Bay Area to date with an additional 550 planned. Learn more about MCE’s EV charging rebates for qualifying commercial and multifamily properties at mceCleanEnergy.org/ev-charging
