Event Report
Chugach celebrated an exciting milestone with the ribbon-cutting of its
first DC Fast Charger, making on-the-go charging faster and more efficient than
ever. This new station empowers Anchorage’s growing EV community, allowing
drivers to charge in minutes and get back on the road. It also reinforces
Chugach’s dedication to reducing emissions and advancing clean energy options
across the region.
With EV adoption climbing 40% annually in Anchorage, this charger is a
crucial addition to the city’s expanding network. Thanks to a valuable
partnership with ReCharge Alaska, who will operate the station, this initiative
brings more convenience and accessibility to EV drivers.
The event featured remarks from Chugach CEO Arthur Miller, Chugach Board
Treasurer Rachel Morse, ReCharge Alaska’s Kris Hall, and Alaska State Senator
Elvi Gray-Jackson. Guests enjoyed refreshments served from the
"frunk" of Chugach’s newest fleet addition, the F-150 Lightning.
