Here in Pleasant Prairie, our population is just over 20,000 people, but we’re making a big impact in Wisconsin with our eco-friendly initiatives! We’re doing our part to support a healthy environment by promoting sustainable and eco-friendly practices.
In recent years, the popularity of electric cars has been on the rise as people become more aware of the impact of fossil fuels on the environment. However, one of the biggest concerns for electric car owners is finding a place to charge their vehicles while on the go. This is where Pleasant Prairie's electric car charging stations come in.
Where to Charge Your Electric Car In Pleasant Prairie

The chargers are available 24/7 and offer up to 150kW. When you’re done charging, stop to enjoy lunch and shopping at one of the many nearby restaurants and stores.

Pleasant Prairie has plans for several other electric car charging stations to be placed in high-traffic areas such as shopping centers, hotels, and public parks. It’s our goal to make it easy for electric car owners to charge up all over the village!
Not only do these charging stations promote the use of electric cars, but they also help reduce carbon emissions by decreasing the number of gasoline-powered vehicles on the road. This is just one example of how Pleasant Prairie is making a conscious effort to reduce its carbon footprint.
