Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations

The City of San Fernando is proud to provide the community with alternative fueling options!

Getting Started

The EV Charging Stations are City-owned and were purchased through ChargePoint. Stations are only accessible with a ChargePoint card.

How to get a ChargePoint Card: You will need to create a ChargePoint account to receive a ChargePoint Card. Click Here to be redirected to the ChargePoint website. During the account creation process, you will specify how many cards you would like to receive (cost is $4.95 each) and where you would like them shipped. Card(s) will arrive in approximately 7 to 10 business days.
How to pay for charging: ChargePoint operates on a credit system. During your first charging session, you need to provide your payment information and you will be charged $10. Charging costs will be deducted from your balance and when your balance drops below $5, an additional $10 will be charged using the payment method on file.

How To Charge Your EV

The easiest way to find available stations, start charging and get updates is by using the ChargePoint app.

How to charge your vehicle: Hold your ChargePoint card over the smart card symbol on the station. The station checks that you are authorized to use the station and, once authorized, the holster unlocks and you may plug the connector into your car. You may also start a session using the ChargePoint mobile app or by calling the customer service number on the station.
How to stop charging your vehicle: When you return to your vehicle, tap your ChargePoint card on the smart card symbol on the station and the display will instruct you to unplug the connector from your vehicle and return it to the holster.
