In keeping with the town's Climate Action Plan goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, four electric vehicle charging stations are now fully functional within Moraga.
Two of the chargers are located in the parking lot of the Town Offices at 329 Rheem Blvd. The other two are in the main parking lot of Moraga Commons Park located at 1425 St. Mary's Rd.
The project fell behind schedule due to COVID-19 shelter-in-place mandates which delayed not only the construction and installation of the stations, but also delayed the permitting process.
The SemaConnect stations can be located through various free applications such as ChargeHub EV Map, PlugShare and the SemaConnect app. Additionally, users can see the availability of individual stations before making the trip out, only to discover that all ports are in use.
The town-owned stations are currently charging a tiered rate based on the time of day as shown in the attached table.
Time of Day Cost per kWh

8 a.m. to noon $0.38
Noon to 6 p.m. $0.53
6 p.m. to 10 p.m. $0.38
10 p.m. to 8 a.m. $0.31
