One of the first completed charging stations using CFI funds opened in September 2024 in Mount Vernon, Washington. With 76 charging ports, it is the largest municipally owned charging station in the country. Leveraging a $12.5 million CFI award along with state and city funding, the City of Mount Vernon was able to create a mixed-use hub with a library, conference center, electric bike charging, transit stop, and other amenities
Commuters can also access nine electric bicycle charging lockers at the new station. The Mount Vernon project is primed for future growth with the capacity to install 200 additional charging ports. The project also supports a regional transit stop linking Skagit, Whatcom, and Snohomish counties.
