19 EV Charging Stations Installed in Pomona’s Palomares Park
Pomona Choice Energy is excited to announce the addition of a new Electric Vehicle (EV) charging station at Palomares Park, 449 E. Arrow Hwy.
The 19 charging station ports, which were installed on November 17, will provide residents and visitors a convenient location to charge their vehicles while enjoying the recreational amenities at Palomares Park. This project is part of Pomona Choice Energy’s efforts to make sustainable energy options accessible to our residents and to support California’s clean transportation goals.
“Pomona Choice Energy is dedicated to creating a cleaner, greener future,” said Pomona Mayor Tim Sandoval. “By adding more charging stations in convenient community locations, we’re making it easier for residents to adopt electric vehicles and lower greenhouse gas emissions.”
The Palomares Park charging station ports are level 2 J1772/Tesla chargers, which are compatible with most electric vehicle models. The new station is part of a growing network of EV chargers in Pomona, as the City is dedicated to investing in infrastructure that supports both residents and the environment.
The adoption of electric vehicles is an essential part of the statewide plan to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. By expanding access to charging stations, Pomona Choice Energy is tackling one of California’s biggest barriers to EV adoption: the lack of convenient charging locations.
Once it is operational, the Palomares Park EV charging station will be open to the public during park hours. Pomona Choice Energy continues to locate strategic spots for future charging stations as part of its long-term sustainability plan.

Pomona Choice Energy —created by the City of Pomona specifically for residents and local businesses—offers the community a choice where there wasn’t one before. Pomona Choice Energy is an alternative to Southern California Edison (SCE), the local investor-owned utility and previously the only power provider available in the City. The new program is locally-managed, not-for-profit and offers clean energy at low, competitive rates. Additionally, revenue from the program will be reinvested into the community through local programs and benefits. Pomona Choice Energy began serving municipal and residential accounts in October 2020 and commercial accounts in June 2021.
