New York City just brought another EV fast-charging station online, this time in the Bronx,\u00a0one of the city\u2019s most underserved areas for clean transportation.<\/p>\n
The New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) has opened a new public fast-charging station at its White Plains Road Municipal Parking Field in the Bronx Park East section of the borough, at 2071 White Plains Road.<\/p>\n
The site includes four DC fast chargers, three 50 kW units, and one 175 kW unit, which can give most EVs an 80% charge in about 20 minutes. Four additional Level 2 chargers can fully charge most vehicles in six to eight hours.<\/p>\n
This new Bronx hub sits in a community with one of the city\u2019s highest concentrations of Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) drivers. Nearly 1,000 TLC-licensed drivers live nearby, and another 1,500 live in adjacent neighborhoods. TLC drivers can sign up through the EV Connect app for a 15% discount on charging fees.<\/p>\n

\u201cAchieving a greener transportation future means investing in electric vehicle chargers that will help us say goodbye to fossil fuels,\u201d said NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, a former cab driver himself. \u201cEast Bronxites will benefit significantly from these new EV chargers, and we look forward to continuing this critical work to fulfill the Adams administration\u2019s ambitious goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
Those goals include the Green Rides Initiative, which aims to make all high-volume for-hire vehicle trips zero-emission or wheelchair-accessible by 2030. The new Bronx station also moves the city closer to Mayor Adams\u2019 PlaNYC target of ensuring that every New Yorker lives within 2.5 miles of a fast charger by 2035. With this latest installation, the share of New Yorkers who live near a fast charger jumps from 81% to 88%.<\/p>\n
The Bronx currently has the fewest fast chargers of any borough, and most of the city\u2019s existing stations are concentrated in higher-income areas of Manhattan and inner Brooklyn and Queens. NYC DOT says this new location is part of a push to make EV charging more equitable and accessible.<\/p>\n
As of September 2025, 79,036 EVs are registered in New York City \u2013 about 25% of New York State\u2019s EVs.<\/p>\n
