We are excited to announce the addition of Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at Shelter Bay. These stations are compatible with all EVs and will enable marina tenants, Shelter Bay members, associate members, and their guests to recharge while enjoying our facilities.
The charging stations are located in the spaces surrounding the Harbormaster’s office. Two spaces are reserved for active charging sessions, and vehicles should be moved when charging is complete to allow others to charge. The other two spaces are designated for EV charging and subsequent parking, with a maximum stay of 72 hours (a marina parking sticker is required), allowing weekend boaters to return to a fully charged vehicle without needing to move when charging is complete. As this is a new program, we will monitor usage and adjust the rules if necessary.
Charging is a simple process; Tesla drivers can plug in and have billing handled automatically through their vehicle. Non-Tesla drivers can start charging using the Tesla app and selecting the Shelter Bay Community pin on the map. Instructions are provided at the charging stations.
Charging fees are based on the prevailing electricity rate ($0.15 per kWh, as of the time of writing), plus billing services ($0.03 per kWh), and a modest fee for cost recovery and maintenance ($0.07 per kWh). The total fee will be adjusted when PSE issues rate changes. The current price can be viewed in the Tesla app.
