USA, New York: Governor Kathy Hochul has recently announced opening of the largest open-access electric vehicle fast charging hub in the Southern Tier region.
The EVolveNY hub, developed in collaboration with Tesla, is to encourage the development of public charging infrastructure available to all New York citizens and visitors.
The new high-speed charging site includes eight universal charging ports installed by NYPA as part of its EVolve NY network and eight Supercharger ports by Tesla for its EVs.
New York State has seen record increases in the number of EVs sold, bringing the total number of EVs on the road to more than 127,000 and the number of charging stations in the state to almost 9,000, including Level 2 and fast chargers. Increasing EV sales will help the state reach its aggressive clean energy goals in accordance with the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. The goal is to reach 850,000 zero-emission vehicles in New York by 2025.
