On Wednesday, January 27th, NYC Fleet announced the installation of their first 58 electric vehicle (EV) fast chargers. DCAS plans to complete at least 100 by summer 2021. These fast EV chargers will allow for city fleet vehicles to charge in a fraction of the time it previously would take and will facilitate the expansion of electric charging to trucks and more vehicle types. In Feb. 2020, Mayor de Blasio announced that NYC Fleet will go all electric by 2040. These new EV fast chargers are a critical step to that goal.
DCAS is also opening up two of the locations, at Randalls Island in Manhattan, and Midland Beach in Staten Island, to general public access.
