Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced that more than 360 electric vehicle (EV) and plug-in hybrid charging stations will be installed across the state in support of his Charge NY initiative.

Charge NY, unveiled by Governor Cuomo during his State of the State address earlier this year, is an initiative to create a statewide network of up to 3,000 public and workplace charging stations over the next five years and to put up to 40,000 plug-in vehicles on the road during that period. This initiative is being spearheaded by both the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).

“Building this network of innovative charging stations will encourage New Yorkers to use fuel-efficient alternatives like electric vehicles as well as grow the green industry and jobs in the state,” Governor Cuomo said. “The Charge NY program shows how New York is leading the way toward an electric vehicle future, and it is helping to drive the state’s clean energy economy.”

“These charging stations – well placed for public use – will help encourage more electric vehicles on the road,” said Gil C. Quiniones, NYPA president and CEO. “The Power Authority is proud to move the Governor’s clean transportation agenda forward with this consumer demand-driven program.”

In addition, NYSERDA has awarded $3.6 million to 14 organizations to install more than 260 electric vehicle charging stations across the state, from Long Island to Buffalo. Most stations will be dual charging stations, with the ability to accommodate two vehicles at once.

“The Governor’s announcement today is just one more step the State is taking to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and promote the use of electric vehicles as a viable option to consumers,” said Francis J. Murray Jr., President and CEO, NYSERDA. “The investment the State is making in this infrastructure, under Governor Cuomo, underscores our continued commitment to clean energy and energy efficiency programs, which will also help to stimulate the economy and protect our environment.”

MyFleetDept provides turnkey charging infrastructure hardware, software and integration services for each EV charging application, including fleet, public, commercial and residential.

In addition to providing Level I, Level II, and DC quick chargers, we offer a full range of sustainable charging infrastructure, including solar powered, wind and on and off-grid solutions. With the combination of charging stations, management systems, solar & wind generation, and energy storage, we can design custom systems based on vehicle use, budget, location, and sustainability goals.

Level I chargers are recommended for home charging and/or customers looking at an economical option for charging their Electric Vehicle. Depending on the size of the battery pack and charger in your car, you will be able to charge 100% of your vehicle battery in about 8 to 12 hours. Level I is also an adequate solution for employers desiring to offer an economical at work solution.

Level II chargers are the most commonly adopted solution for public, fleet and employer EV charging. Due to a higher power distribution capability than Level I charging, Level II allows a quicker charge for EV users and optimized equipment payback for charging equipment owners. Various charging configurations are available. Recommended for indoor and outdoor public charging, or semi-public parking areas like malls, restaurants, hotels, retailers, employers, etc. Many EV owners install Level II at their residence, reducing the charge time by about half of the Level I unit which generally comes with the vehicle.

DC Quick charging is the ultimate charging solution to use for your electric vehicle without worrying about charging time constraints. Resorting to DC Quick chargers allows you to charge your electric vehicle during short stops, and recharge it in less than 30 minutes (for a standard 25kW battery car). Such a solution is welcomed by fleet owners who need to make several rounds of driving in the same day (morning, afternoon shifts), with a mid-day break allowing quick charging sessions. It is also the preferred solution for easy and rapid public charging in densely populated areas.

Our various management solutions allow operation of your charging station(s) in both private and public environments, by giving you the ability to control access to your charging point(s), collect fees, manage reservations, provide real-time in-use/full charge notifications, receive remote software updates, diagnose alerts, collect data and produce numerous reports.
