Help Map the Future of EV Charging in Rancho Cordova
Post Date: 06/26/2026
Rancho Cordova is planning for the future of transportation, and your input can help guide the way.
As more residents, businesses and fleets make the switch to electric vehicles, the City of Rancho Cordova is developing an EV Charging Needs Assessment and Network Plan to better understand where charging is needed most and how to expand access across the community.
The plan will help identify gaps in the current charging network, explore barriers that residents and businesses may face, and recommend future locations for EV chargers throughout Rancho Cordova. A key focus of this effort is making sure charging options are convenient, reliable and accessible for everyone, including residents who live in apartments or multi-family housing, businesses, fleets and neighborhoods that may have limited access today.
Community feedback is an important part of this work. Whether you drive an electric vehicle now, are thinking about getting one in the future or simply want to help shape a cleaner transportation system for Rancho Cordova, we want to hear from you.
Residents, businesses and visitors are encouraged to take the survey and put points on the map to show where EV charging would be most helpful.
Take the survey: https://app.maptionnaire.com/q/887ksg83zk88
The project will also include in-person community outreach such as pop-up events, stakeholder meetings and public workshops throughout 2026. Input collected this spring and summer will help inform a draft network plan in fall 2026, with a final plan expected in winter 2026/2027.
Together, we can help power Rancho Cordova's electric future and support a cleaner, healthier community for all.
