📍 Library Back Parking Lot – 15131 Hwy 119, Black Hawk

Join the Gilpin County Commissioners and the Gilpin County Library Board of Trustees as we officially mark this milestone in our county’s commitment to sustainability.

About the Chargers

After a short delay caused by scheduling backlogs for final checks, connections, and inspections, the chargers are now fully operational through ChargePoint:

  • Two Level 3 DC Fast Chargers – up to 125 kW, the first in Gilpin County and along the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway
  • One Level 2 Charger with two 80-amp ports – fast, reliable, and ideal for longer visits

Why It Matters

These new chargers make it easier for residents and visitors alike to travel sustainably while reducing noise and emissions in our community.

Come see the new chargers, learn how they work, and be part of Gilpin County’s move toward a more sustainable future!
