New York State announced that an additional $28.5 million has been allocated to install electric vehicle DC fast chargers along major travel corridors across the Empire State.
The chargers are being funded by the federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure formula funding program. They will be installed at locations south of Interstate 84, including the lower Hudson Valley, New York City, and Long Island.
“Making quick, reliable charging easily available will encourage more people to drive EVs that help to lower pollution from vehicles, provide cleaner air for New Yorkers, and improve health in our communities,” New York Governor Kathy Hochul said in a statement announcing the funding.
Eligible highways for the funding include Interstate 87 south of I-84, Interstate 95, Interstate 278, Interstate 287, Interstate 495, and Interstate 678, among others.
