SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., July 22, 2025 — EVmatch, a leading provider of shared electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, is excited to announce the completion of a new EV charging station installation at Colorado Park Apartments, an affordable housing multi-family community in Palo Alto, California. A public ribbon cutting event will be held to celebrate the launch on Monday, July 28, 2025, from 1:00 to 2:30 pm at 1141 Colorado Avenue, Palo Alto, California.
The celebration will feature remarks from EVmatch CEO, Heather Hochrein, representatives from the California Energy Commission (CEC), the City of Palo Alto, and local housing partners. Guests will hear from project partners, view the newly installed charging stations, and learn more about the importance of equitable access to clean transportation.
The project is part of EVmatch’s ongoing focus to bring affordable, reliable, and publicly accessible EV charging to underserved communities — particularly residents of multi-family housing. The project was made possible through funding support from the California Energy Commission’s Clean Transportation Program and the City of Palo Alto.
“We’re proud to bring shared EV charging access to Colorado Park Apartments and to celebrate the partnerships that made this project possible,” said Heather Hochrein, CEO and Founder of EVmatch. “By making EV charging accessible to multi-family property residents, we’re helping to ensure that clean transportation advancements include everyone.”
“Publicly accessible EV charging near residences is the key to making EVs a convenient choice, especially for those that live in multi-family housing,” said CEC Commissioner Nancy Skinner. “The CEC is proud to support EVmatch in building EV chargers at locations like the Colorado Park Apartments in Palo Alto—these installations are essential to meet our zero-emission vehicle goals.”
The new charging stations are publicly accessible and can be reserved in advance using EVmatch’s mobile app, providing both residents and community members with a flexible and user-friendly charging solution. The project also includes new electric bike charging stations, offering multiple sustainable and affordable mobility options for residents.
