Padres Adds 20 EV Chargers

The Padres will add EV charging to Petco Park in San Diego for the 2025 baseball season.

The baseball team partnered with locally-based XLR8 America, which provides commercial EV chargers for businesses.

The Padres have engaged the EV charging systems solution provider to install 20 chargers in Petco Park’s Parkade parking facility located on the corner of 10th Avenue and J Street, adjacent to the stadium.

The new public chargers will provide fans the opportunity to charge their vehicle while enjoying the game. In addition to game days, the Parkade chargers will be available throughout the year for concerts and other Petco Park-hosted events.

Petco Park was the first National League stadium to be powered by 100% renewable and carbon-free energy. The Padres are committed to advancing sustainable measures as part of the fan experience at the stadium.

“We are proud to partner with XLR8 America to further our environmental and sustainability efforts at Petco Park and the Ballpark District,” said Padres CEO Erik Greupne in a statement. “By installing EV chargers in the Padres Parkade, we are providing another convenient option for fans with electric or hybrid vehicles to commute to Padres games and special events at the ballpark.”

The chargers will be located on the ground level of the Parkade and are expected to be operational later in the 2025 season.
