WILTON MANORS, Fla., Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The City of Wilton Manors will host a ribbon cutting ceremony for its new EVgo electric vehicle (EV) fast charging station on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at Wilton Manors City Hall (2020 Wilton Drive), prior to the City Commission meeting. Community members are invited to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony and learn more about the City’s expanding sustainability initiatives.
The newly installed charging location is one of the largest EVgo fast charging stations in Florida, featuring 10 high-power 350kW fast charging stalls designed to get drivers back on the road quickly and conveniently. With these high-power chargers, EV drivers may add up to 100 miles of range in as little as seven minutes.*
“This new EVgo fast charging station is another important step in Wilton Manors’ commitment to sustainability and a greener future,” said Mayor Scott Newton. “By adding cutting-edge infrastructure like this, we’re supporting cleaner transportation, meeting the needs of residents and visitors, and positioning Wilton Manors as a forward-thinking, environmentally responsible city.”
EVgo’s vision is to enable effortless fast charging for everyone by placing fast charging stations in urban and suburban locations drivers already frequent, including retail centers, grocery stores, and high-traffic areas, like Wilton Drive and City Hall.
The City Hall charging station is fully operational and ready for use. There are multiple payment options available, including EVgo Autocharge+, the EVgo mobile app, an EVgo program card, credit card or a roaming partner app or card, such as ChargePoint. Drivers may also enroll in EVgo subscription plans to unlock discounted charging rates.
