New York City to install 600 additional curbside charging points - electrive.com

The New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) will increase its public Level 2 curbside charging points from 88 to nearly 700. The rollout prioritizes areas with limited off-street parking and high concentrations of ride-hailing drivers. In Brooklyn, the first phase of installations will focus on Red Hook, Carroll Gardens, and Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Each new site will feature at least four charging points. Future sites may also include electrical connections for e-bike charging and cargo bike hubs. This initiative follows a 2021 pilot with Con Edison that saw utilization rates exceed 70 percent. Residents can now use a new online portal to provide feedback on proposed charging locations in their neighborhoods.
