Our hope is that NYPA's EVolve NY chargers become part of the community fabric, providing increased access to fast charging for more New Yorkers," said Justin E. Driscoll, NYPA President and CEO

NYPA will have up to 400 chargers by early 2026 installed or in construction through its EVolve NY program at average intervals of 50 miles along key interstate corridors and in select urban hubs, such as our 10-charger site at JFK Airport.
Customers can charge their EV in 15-30 minutes, at charging speeds up to 350kw
The fee for NYPA chargers is $0.47/kWh for upstate and $0.52/kWh for downstate + tax with no additional session or idle fees. The average NY driver can save an average of $800 to $1,000 a year on fueling costs over an equivalent gasoline-powered car.
Charging stations will be installed at intervals of 50 miles, on average, with easy and safe access from highway exits. Food, restrooms and shelter also will be within walking distance of each station.
Yes, as long as the vehicle has fast charging capability (virtually every new, fully electric car is capable of fast charging, while plug-in hybrid cars that also have gas tanks tend not to be equipped with fast charging). Tesla vehicles can charge via their CHAdeMO port using an adapter (adapters are available at select charging locations).
New York Power Authority only permits the use of adapters sold by automakers on its chargers. Adapters sold by automakers are certified to work with their vehicles. Use of any other adapter on our chargers is prohibited. The integrity and reliability of third-party adapters cannot be guaranteed and therefore are not permitted on our network. Tesla adapters are available at the following EVolve NY charging locations:
Ultimately drivers will be able to travel all of New York State with confidence that a charging station is within 50 miles of their location, on average. Charging stations will be located:
Typically 15-30 minutes. The actual time depends on:
Let’s use an example with a hypothetical price of $0.45 per kWh (the standard unit of energy in your EV’s battery). The largest EV batteries on the market today are nearly 100 kWh. To charge a 100kWh battery from 0% to 100% would cost $45. To charge that same battery from 20% to 80% (80% charge is recommended to optimize battery health) would cost $27 ($0.45/kWh x 60% x 100 kWh =$27).
*When using a credit card for payment please be aware that there may be a temporary credit card hold in the amount of $50 - $75, depending on the charger.
This temporary hold will not be charged to you. The time frame for clearance is dependent on your credit card provider’s terms.
Each charging station has a phone number to call for 24/7 help in troubleshooting any charging or payment issues. Peace of mind and reliability are EVolve NY’s top priorities; if users cannot initiate charging themselves, the help line can remotely begin the charging session.
There is no EVolve NY app. Our chargers are administered through the EV Connect and Electrify America networks. Please download the EV Connect and Electrify America apps to use EVolve NY chargers:
Each charging station has a parking space to accommodate wheelchair accessible electric vehicles, including but not limited to, vans and minivans.
