Colorado Parks and Wildlife will install at least 20 electric vehicle chargers at state parks by the end of the summer, Gov. Jared Polis announced on Friday morning.
As part of that goal, Polis, along with the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and Rivian, unveiled two Rivian Waypoints Level 2 electric vehicle chargers that were recently installed at Cheyenne Mountain State Park.
This is another milestone in the Polis administration's commitment to put about 1 million EVs on the roads by 2030. After Polis took office in 2019, he signed an executive order to establish a Zero Emission Vehicle Program, which would bring more EV makes and models to Colorado. The following year, his office released the Colorado EV Plan, which set goals to put 940,000 light-duty EVs and at least 1,000 zero-emission transit buses on the roads by 2030.
“We are committed to delivering cleaner air and driving eco-friendly tourism to preserve and protect our amazing public lands," Polis said."Thanks to the incredible collaboration between the Department of Natural Resources, Colorado Parks and Wildlife with Colorado Energy Office, and Rivian, Colorado is on the fast track to delivering a comprehensive EV-charging infrastructure that meets the needs of drivers today and tomorrow.
