A Brooklyn-based company, in partnership with the New York City Department of Transportation, has announced a plan to place more than 600 electric‑vehicle charging stations at curbside locations throughout the city. The rollout is scheduled to be completed by September 30, 2026, adding a significant number of public charging points to the existing infrastructure.
The initiative targets streets across all five boroughs, aiming to provide drivers with convenient access to power while parked on city sidewalks. By situating chargers at curbside spots, the program seeks to reduce the need for drivers to travel to dedicated parking garages or private charging locations. The company will manage installation, maintenance, and operation of the units, while the Department of Transportation oversees site selection and regulatory compliance. The total count of new stations will exceed six hundred, expanding the city’s network of publicly available electric‑vehicle chargers.
The Department of Transportation has opened a public comment period to gather feedback on the street‑side charging plan. Residents, business owners, and other stakeholders are invited to submit their observations, concerns, or suggestions regarding the proposed locations and implementation timeline. Comments are being accepted through the city’s official website, with the deadline for input set before the final deployment schedule is confirmed. The agency indicated that input will be reviewed as part of the final planning process, ensuring that the deployment aligns with community needs and city transportation goals.
