According to the US Department of Energy, there are now 320 publicly accessible EV charging points across Manhattan.
While the same district has only 29 gas stations.
This means that for people who live or work in Manhattan, finding an electric vehicle charging location is more than 10 times easier than finding a gas station.
However, Manhattan is a special case, because drivers have long “struggled” to find places to refuel.
The area’s high land value drove out many gas stations before EVs took off.
Multiple chargers are located in existing parking garages.
However, New York officials are eager to add more curbside chargers because they can serve even more people.
