"The $250 million EVolve NY program is NYPA's mission to make EVs an "affordable and convenient option" for New Yorkers by placing them along highway corridors, positioning them close to exits for ease of access. The LaGuardia station marks the 300th charger installed at over 63 locations statewide, but NYPA plans to vastly increase those numbers by adding 400 more chargers across 86 locations by the end of 2026."
"It's a great example of the collaboration and partnership that we've had over the years with the Port Authority, with the Borough of Queens, and the New York City region to try to drive transportation electrification," said NYPA CEO Justin Driscoll. "we're really excited about today and what this means for the future of electrification, of transportation, and the clean energy economy that we're all working towards."
LaGuardia Airport now has 12 fast EV charging stations at Grand Central Parkway Exit 7. Each station can fully charge a car battery in less than 30 minutes, with a full-charge cost around $35–$45. The stations belong to NYPA's $250 million EVolve NY program, designed to place chargers along highway corridors and near exits to make EVs affordable and convenient. The LaGuardia installation is the 300th charger across more than 63 locations statewide. NYPA plans to add 400 more chargers across 86 locations by the end of 2026, aiming for a station every 50 miles. Chargers are compatible with any EV fast-charging standard. The expansion is supported by a $3 billion state vehicle-electrification investment and regional partnerships to advance transportation electrification and the clean-energy economy.
