FAQs

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 using an adapter.

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.

Watch our video on how to use the Tesla adapter at an EVolve NY station here.

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:

Along the state’s major highway corridors, usually within five minutes of the roadway exit
In New York City, Yonkers, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo

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.
