ChargePoint deploys five charging stations in New York
These ultra-fast locations with Support from NY State Energy Research and Development Authority.
ChargePoint announced the opening of five ultra-fast charging sites in upstate New York, located in Cortland, Waterloo, Lake Placid, Niagara Falls, and Ripley.
The sites are supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) through its Clean Transportation program. This initiative enables the build-out of critical electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across New York State, reducing the capital investment needed to deploy public charging sites.
“ChargePoint’s collaboration with NYSERDA demonstrates the critical role that public-private partnerships will continue to play in the build out of charging infrastructure, particularly at the state level. When all types of institutions work together to defray costs, much-needed EV charging infrastructure can scale at an accelerated pace,” said Rick Wilmer, CEO of ChargePoint.
The Clean Transportation program includes building out access in underserved communities, defined as disadvantaged communities by New York State’s Climate Justice Working Group.
In total, 50% of the fast-charging stations funded through this program, including ChargePoint’s locations, will be located in communities designated as disadvantaged.
