Pasadena Powers Forward: New EV Charging Depot and Rebate Updates

Pasadena continues to lead in electric vehicle infrastructure expansion with the unveiling of a new charging station at Shopper's Lane.

This comes after the success of the Marengo Charging Plaza and the Arroyo Electric Vehicle Charging Depot.

The new depot, built by PWP through a public-private partnership, features 12 V3 Superchargers and eight PWP-branded Tritium 150-kW DC Fast-Chargers.

Furthermore, PWP announced changes to its EV rebate program beginning January 2024.

While rebates for new plug-in EVs will end, the rebate program for used EVs will continue.

Dedicated Volunteers to Count and Survey Pasadena's Homeless this Winter

Every year in the last ten days of January, volunteers in Pasadena participate in the annual Homeless Count, a census of the city's homeless population.

This year, volunteers will be out on the night of January 23rd and the morning of January 24th.

They will work in small teams, surveying assigned zones in the city. The data collected from the count is crucial for understanding the state of homelessness in Pasadena and advocating for needed community resources.

Additionally, volunteers will be distributing cold weather kits during the survey.

Pasadena PD Wraps Up Year with Final Community Event - 'Pizza with a Cop'

The police department views this event as a crucial step towards encouraging open dialogue, addressing community concerns, and building trust and mutual respect with the residents of Pasadena.
