Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging & CNG Fuel Stations

City Hall Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations

The City of Placentia is continually seeking grant opportunities for resources that will benefit the community through new and/or expanded services and programs, as well as reduce the operating costs of the City. In 2015, the City acquired 10 new Chevy Spark electric vehicles (EV) to replace fuel-inefficient fleet vehicles. It installed 12 electric charging stations at the Civic Center complex with the use of California Environmental Protection Agency (CA EPA) grants, Air Quality Management District (AQMD) grants, and Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) Clean Transportation funding.

Two (2) EV charging stations are available for the general public's use while visiting or conducting business at the Civic Center. There is no cost to the public to use these dedicated EV charging stations. The charging stations keep the City's electric vehicles on the road, provide various services to our community, reduce long-term fuel and maintenance costs, as well as helping to reduce our carbon footprint The EV charging stations are located at the Civic Center: 401 East Chapman Avenue, Placentia, CA 90870

CNG for Cleaner Air

The Natural Gas Vehicle Station, operated by Trillium, offers compressed natural gas (CNG), a naturally occurring gas that consists primarily of methane. Derived from gas wells or as a by-product of crude oil production, CNG produces far fewer pollutants than comparable gasoline or diesel versions. It also produces less carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses.

The Trillium Natural Gas Vehicle Station is located at 2999 East La Jolla Street, Anaheim, CA 92806, southwest of North Kramer Boulevard. From State Highway 57, exit at Orangethorpe Avenue and go east. Turn right on Melrose Street, then left on La Jolla Street. The station is on the left-hand side of the road and is located in the Placentia's Corporation Yard. Look for the blue CNG signs.

The station is open 24 hours a day and accepts all major credit cards. For more information, please visit Trillium CNG's website.
