Just a bit after hearing about 28 new EV fast chargers in San Diego<\/a>, here comes a new story about over 60 fast chargers for NYC<\/a>. These \u201csmall\u201d EV charger installations are examples of how, little by little, EV public infrastructure is expanding in some areas. (There are also much larger expansions, such as the ones at Walmarts and Kroger stores.) A new EV charging hub just opened in Flushing, Queens, and nine more are planned for launches this year. Over 60 fast chargers will be operating in Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding EV chargers in neighborhoods where many working drivers live will make it easier to encourage a switch to electric vehicles and help for-hire vehicle drivers spend more time fulfilling rides, not searching for a charge. These chargers will also be available to the public and help serve communities with few affordable charging options. Achieving a greener transportation future is only possible if our city makes equitable investments in every neighborhood, for every New Yorker,\u201d said NYC DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NYC has a goal to have net-zero carbon emissions by 2050<\/a>. Installing more EV chargers supports greater EV adoption and electric vehicles generate no direct toxic air pollution, including carbon emissions. When they operate on clean, renewable electricity from solar power and wind power, they replace one of the worst sources of harmful air pollution, which is internal combustion engines running on gasoline and diesel.<\/p>\n

New York City has severe air pollution, air pollution<\/a> that harms human health and worse. \u201cNew York City\u2019s air quality has improved in recent decades, as the City and State have worked to lower emissions from regional and local sources. Despite this progress, two air pollutants, ozone and PM2.5, cause about 2,400 deaths per year in NYC, and thousands more emergency department visits and hospitalizations for asthma, heart and lung problems. Those most at risk include older adults, children and people with preexisting health conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Replacing gas and diesel vehicles with fully electric vehicles is better for human health. There are far more toxic emissions than only carbon. Electric vehicles are also better for the planet because they are much more energy efficient and they don\u2019t use gasoline or diesel.<\/p>\n
