Kitsap Bank Installs EV Charging in Washington

Kitsap Bank an independent, family and women-owned community bank, announced a significant expansion of their EV charging infrastructure across Washington State. 

This initiative seeks to bolster the state's electrification efforts with the first of four planned locations at Kitsap Bank branches now operational and open to the public in Gig Harbor.

EVCS, an EV fast-charging network operator, is installing EV chargers at four key Kitsap Bank locations: Gig Harbor, Port Orchard, Kingston, and Belfair. Each site will feature four 150-kW DC Fast chargers (DCFC) and one Level 2 (L2) charger, providing a total of 16 DCFCs and four L2 chargers across the four locations. 

Installations in Port Orchard and Kingston are nearing completion and plans for Belfair are underway. 

The project is funded by a contract with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and managed by Forth.

“At Kitsap Bank, we have an ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship, and we are always seeking new opportunities to make a positive impact," said Tony George, Kitsap Bank President & Chief Operating Officer, in a statement. “We appreciate this partnership, and look forward to expanding EV charger access through additional Kitsap Bank locations, ensuring that charging stations are easily accessible in the communities that we serve.”
