Ydanis Rodriguez expressed, "By targeting Bronx and Southern Brooklyn neighborhoods where we know many drivers live, we will better meet growing demand for more fast charging as well as advance our ambitious climate goals." This highlights the strategic location selection for the new charging stations.
The NYC DOT Commissioner emphasized, "As a former cab driver, I understand how important equity of access will be to our efforts to transition for-hire vehicles away from fossil fuels," showcasing the commitment to equitable infrastructure development.
Construction has begun on new fast-charging stations in Brooklyn and the Bronx, specifically targeting areas with high concentrations of for-hire vehicle drivers, demonstrating a focused approach to expand EV infrastructure.
The new fast chargers are designed to provide an 80% charge in 20 minutes to one hour for most electric vehicles, marking a significant enhancement in charging capabilities within the city.
