The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the New Mexico Energy, Mineral and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD) to construct an electric vehicle (EV) charging station. The EMNRD is working to integrate electric vehicles in the Department's fleet to support the alternative fuels program. This initiative is the first step by the State of New Mexico to incorporate EV charging at state owned properties. The charging station would be comprised of one or two Dual Port Level 2 pedestal type chargers and would be installed in an existing parking lot.

The charging station would be located in the parking lot of the State of New Mexico Energy Minerals and Natural Resources Department Office Building located at 1200 St. Francis Drive in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Necessary project activities would include the construction of a concrete pad and the placement of EV charging equipment (pedestal), installation of electrical conduit, trenching and repair of existing concrete curbing and asphalt parking surface.
