Narrative
The City of Southlake is partnering with TXU and ChargePoint to install one Level 2 dual head EV
charging station in the Town Square East Parking Garage between two parking spaces (see photo in
Plans and Support Information). Additionally, a second charging station that is an exact replica and
adjacent to the proposed location have also been planned for the future. When the need arise, the
second charging station will be installed. This initiative aligns with Southlake’s 2030 Mobility Master Plan
as a Tier 1 project. This project includes the installation of facility infrastructure, signage and dual head
charger that will allow two electric vehicles to charge simultaneously. The charging station is a CT4000
Level 2 commercial charging station. No additional lighting is proposed. Four spaces in the first floor
parking garage is well below the 10% allowable. Bollards or wheel stops will be provided to protect the
charging station.
In summary, two charging stations in 4 spaces are requested with this application. It is proposed that the
two stations are installed in two different phases. The timeline for the second station installation is
unknown at this time.
