More Pole-Mounted EV Chargers Coming to Madison

MGE's first pole-mounted charging station is on Madison’s East side near Worthington Park.

Chargers offer convenient curbside charging in Madison neighborhoods.

MGE's public charging network, powered by renewable energy, continues to grow with the addition of four new pole-mounted electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The chargers, which attach to existing MGE utility poles, offer residents easy curbside charging. The new EV pole-mounted chargers are located near:

  • Commercial Avenue and North Street in east-central Madison 
  • Lakeside St. Coffee House in south-central Madison  
  • Quann Park on Madison's South side 
  • Troy Gardens on Madison's North side 

Studies show that about 80% of EV charging happens at home. This can be challenging for drivers who don't have a garage or dedicated parking. That's why MGE and the City of Madison partnered to find locations that could benefit from easy access to curbside charging.   

MGE's first pole-mounted charging station was installed in the fall of 2023 on Madison's East side near Worthington Park.
