That’s a great question! Because
NYC
is such a densely-packed urban environment, finding a parking spot, let alone a charging station, can be challenging.
Thankfully, there are public charging available in all five boroughs of NYC, and they’re primary located in parking lots and garages.
The New York City Department of Transportation also provides a
map of charging stations
that you can search based on your location. You can also use smartphone apps like ChargePoint or PlugShare to find places to charge.
Even if you’re using a DC fast charging, getting your battery up to 80% can still take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes on average. While you wait, check out the
Jerry
