Pittsburgh Parking Authority - First Avenue Garage

This is a 4 kW AC charging station at the Pittsburgh Parking Authority's First Avenue Garage. The operator is independent or unlisted. The station has an unstated number of charging points equipped with Type 1 (J1772) connectors. It is currently operational. This station is best suited for drivers who need a local top-up rather than a rapid recharge. A 4 kW peak charging speed means about 10-15 miles of range added per hour of charging. For context, charging a typical EV from 20% to 80% could take over 6 hours. This makes it a slower option for EV charging in Pittsburgh, more practical for overnight charging or while spending several hours at a destination.

Use this station when you have ample time, like while parked for work or shopping downtown. It is not designed for quick charging stops. Drivers should plan for extended charging durations. The station's status is reported as operational, but it's always wise to confirm with the operator if possible before relying on it for essential charging needs.
