Mayor Daniel Lurie has launched San Francisco's Kerbside Electric Vehicle Charging Programme, formalising a pilot that brought the city's first kerbside chargers online in April 2025. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency is now accepting permit applications under the new programme, which targets residents in multifamily buildings or without private garages. The initiative aligns with the mayor's Climate Action Plan and delivers on legislation introduced by Mayor Lurie and Board of Supervisors President Rafael Mandelman in March.
Why it matters: The programme opens a new permitting route for CPOs and installers to deploy kerbside infrastructure across San Francisco, expanding the addressable market beyond private garages. Formalising the pilot signals municipal commitment and may accelerate procurement cycles for public right of way charging.
