Homewood Resort’s Marina is home to the first on-the-water electric boat charging station on Lake Tahoe thanks to a partnership with the Tahoe Fund.
Following in the footsteps of the automotive industry’s transition to electric vehicles, the boating industry is moving in the same direction. Electric boat charging stations will be critical to the adoption of electric watercraft.
“We are thrilled to help power the first of what we hope will be many electric boat charging stations on Lake Tahoe,” said Allen Biaggi, Tahoe Fund board chair. “Clean powered boats will help ensure a cleaner Lake Tahoe.”
“We are excited to take this step into electric watersport recreation, and to be the first in Lake Tahoe to make it possible,” said Kevin Mitchell, Homewood Resort’s general manager. ”
In 2020, with the support of the Tahoe Fund, the marina installed its first on-water charger. Over the past year, the marina has been working closely with local utilities to upgrade the charging service to power two 100KW Level 3 Fast DC chargers to their harbor.
“We have been working with the Ingenity team on this project for over three years and protecting the unique natural resource of Lake Tahoe has always been our priority so installing an on-the-water EB charging stations at the Marina is 100% in alignment with our commitment,” said David Topol, director of the Homewood Resort’s Marina. “It’s exciting to see this project come to life and provide an electric boat experience at our location this summer. We look forward to sharing this with everyone.”
