EV Charging in Spokane
Spokane, WA has 152 public EV charging stations, including 21 DC fast chargers and 115 Level 2 stations. Major networks include ChargePoint Network, Non-Networked, Blink Network.
Spokane is the hub of eastern Washington and the Inland Northwest, and its charging network has filled in quickly thanks to Avista's EV programs and Washington's clean, hydro-heavy grid. Fast charging clusters along I-90 — the lifeline between Seattle and the Rockies — while Level 2 covers downtown, the universities, and the valley.
Eastern Washington gets genuinely cold in winter, which trims range — pad your buffer and lean on I-90 fast chargers rather than the sparser rural sites when temperatures drop.
