20 May 2026 public input programmeThe City held a third public input meeting on proposed EV charger locations after meetings on 8 and 22 April. It continues to publish 2026 as a Phase 1 construction target and 2027–2030 for Phase 2; these are forecasts rather than proof of commenced physical installation.

About the project
The original city plan identifies 53 candidate charging locations: 45 Level 2 and two fast-charge sites in the city, plus six Milwaukee County Level 2 locations. Up to 15 early sites were prioritised for installation. The municipality plans a private partner to finance, build and operate charging facilities.

What happens next
2026 Phase 1 sites and 2027–2030 Phase 2 are municipal forward programme dates, not owner-confirmed as-built charging points.
What remains uncertain
Review dated 31 October 2026. The city source reports public consultation, funding and location selection, but no documented contractor mobilisation, installation or opened first charger. Confidence assesses original-source documentary strength, not future completion likelihood.
