Sudbury residents with electric vehicles now have a new, convenient place to charge up—the Goodnow Library. The library recently became home to four public charging stations, offering a total of eight ports, as part of the Town of Sudbury’s growing EV infrastructure.
The Goodnow Library chargers join a network of 11 public Level 2 charging stations (22 ports total) now available across town. Other charging locations include the Fairbank Community Center, the Department of Public Works, and the Sudbury Police Department.
The Town shifted to a fee-based charging model this summer to help cover the costs of maintaining the network. As of July 1, EV drivers pay $0.42 per kilowatt-hour, with an idle fee of $3 per hour if cars remain plugged in more than 30 minutes after charging is complete. Payments are made through the Red E Charge app, which can be downloaded to start a session.
The town’s EV charging program is supported by a new Electric Vehicle Charging Revolving Fund, approved at Town Meeting in 2025, which ensures that all revenue from charging fees goes directly back into maintaining and expanding the system.
