Ocean Shores installs three 100 kW DC fast chargers at public library

Ocean Shores Public Library in Washington State has opened three EVCS 100 kW DC fast charging stations with CCS ports in its side car park. A ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday featured State Representative Adam Bernbaum, city and utility officials, and EVCS executives. City Administrator Scott Andersen highlighted the environmental benefits of the installation for the coastal community.

Why it matters: The deployment shows public libraries emerging as EV charging hosts in smaller US municipalities, while the 100 kW DC specification indicates a focus on fast turnaround for visitors rather than destination charging.
